    What are the most common torque values for wheel nuts?

    Princess Auto had torque rods on for 1/2 price so I want to stock up.
    I just don't want to waste money on uncommon sizes I'll never use.
    Thanks in advance!

    Are all those sizes really that common?
    (I was hoping not to buy that many)

    yup....among others. I work for Discount Tire Co. (America's Tire) and these are the ones I see the most. Your best bet is to get a 65 Ft. lbs. torque stick and an actual torque wrench, which is what we use.

    Noooo.
    I already take the nuts off with my impact gun, and I want the torque rods so I can use the gun to put them back on too.
    Drive the car around a long block, and use my torque wrench for final precision tightening.

    I love my air tools!

    A torque rod is actually a sacrificial safety device, which prevents over-torquing. You should stay away from this limit anyway. Use the impact gun to run the lug nuts up with a few air-hammer pops. The torque wrench does the final bit.
