You should still use a torque wrench, you use these to get it close and not overtorqued.

Greg, I saw those but I am looking for a socket (not those extentions) that attaches to your impact wrench and clicks/slips at 90 lbs. As I recall they are about 6 inches long.

Never heard of such a thing and certainly wouldn't want only 90lb/ft torque on my lug nuts.

Spec is 96 ft-lbs, guess he figured 90 was close enough.

Maybe it is not 90 lbs.exactly. A friend of mine, who I cannot get on the phone this week, uses this device on his 5 911s and 2 355s (all race cars). So it is probably an expensive item.
