Review on Neiko 02453A Limiting Extension 8 Piece by Mark Hart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Handy for hand tools

When I'm doing a quick tire change these torque bars work fine. The torque rating unfortunately falls on either side of my desired horsepower rating (there are 80 and 90 ft/lb torque arms here, but my cars use 85 ft/lb), so I just round up to the next size up. The only one I have is the 19mm head - it works well on most of my bikes, but on a set it's so tight it's difficult to use. It doesn't snag and spin properly, but it's difficult to get in and out. Next time I'll try spraying them with soapy water. But otherwise the set is well made and a great option for hand tightening wheels. On road trips, I can throw in a 90 ft/lb torque arm and a 19mm head in the back with my Milwaukee 1/2" impact wrench and be prepared for a flat tire, which I'll probably never get.
