Risky Extension Sends Wrong Signal

This torque limiting extension proved to be a blunder in my automotive diagnostic toolkit. While it may succeed in preventing over-tightening, it carries the risk of under-tightening, sending the wrong signal to the engine management system. An absence of reliable readings makes this tool an insubstantial investment for any technician.

Pros
  • Easy to use and install.
Cons
  • May limit torque too much for some applications.

Limits torque as advertised

I use it with an impact wrench to avoid over tightening the lug nuts. 75 lb/ft works for many vehicles. While this works well, I still use a torque wrench to check each nut. From time to time you'll have a nut that goes in too deep and you won't know unless you check it with a torque wrench.

Pros
  • Wrench
Cons
  • Does not work

Product is yellow (exactly as pictured) not green

I'm a fan of torque limiter extensions. In hindsight I should have bought a set as I now have 3 of these for various uses, this YELLOW 75lb (my Toyota wheels are rated at 76ftlb). Ideal for use with my Makita Impact prior to the final torque check. With a kick, it's easy to overload the torque. 75 is actually not that tight.

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
