Vinny Gambini: Well, how could you be sure you used 16 foot-pounds of torque?

Lisa: Because I used a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory Edition Signature Series torque wrench. The kind used by Caltech high energy physicists. And NASA engineers.

Vinny Gambini: Well, in that case, how can you be sure THAT's accurate?

Lisa: Because a split second before the torque wrench was applied to the faucet handle, it had been calibrated by top members of the state AND federal Department of Weights and Measures... to be dead on ***** accurate!

[She rips a page out of a magazine and hands it to him]

Lisa: Here's the certificate of validation.

Vinny Gambini: Dead on ***** accurate?

Lisa: It's an industry term.

As far as it effecting torque specs .....when was the last time you had your $50 torque wrench calibrated?

This sounds odd to me, even if they used an impact gun to put the lugs on without a torque limiter.

I put anti-seize on the hub but not on the lugs. I start the lugs by hand, use an impact gun with torque limiter to spin them on, then finish with a torque wrench.
