I use Milwaukee M18 3/4 inch...never a problem

Kevin Bird

Do you still use a torque wrench to set the torque?

I have the same, perfect tool and wheel socket fits directly on this one as it's 1 inch! (991/992 wheel nut socket)

Exactly. And I use a torque wrench to put them on. I have the precision instruments. It's 3/4" so use an adapter.

A thing to remember is as soon as you put an adapter on, you're loosing torque. There was a post above that mentioned bigger battery... I agree, or even a new battery. I use Milwk M18 3/4" (not sure how old battery was), but got a new one (same size) and tool worked much better.

My wheel socket is 3/4" so I don't need an adapter. I use a Sunex torque wrench to 350lbs.

Same process for me: M18 IW, followed by Sunex TW. Have tons of M18 tools and love them. Nitrogen is safer than electric tools. Take care to avoid fuel vapors with electric tools.

350 ft pounds? My car requires 550 (553 to be exact)

M13S

Hilti or nothing.

Does the Hytorc have a version that work with Cup car centerlock?

I just noticed on the description at dundon, it says this is compatible with the cup car centerlock, it'll just drive the porsche socket tool.

the hytorc can torque both clockwise and counterclockwise !

I am kindof surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that a standard impact gun will only work well on one side of your cup car since the nuts are reversed on the other side of the car.

I think all impact guns do not have the same torque rating when tightening vs loosening

We sucked it up and bought the paoli impact guns designed for this application. We had to buy one gun for the drivers side and another for the passenger side so the torque ratings are the same when tightening.

The other reason we did this was because you can not use electric guns in the hot pits so when qualifying and changing tires there isnt time to torque the wheels like in the garage/paddock.

Yes...Don't want to over tighten

thank you for pointing this out. New to the Cup world, lots to learn

stujelly

unfortunately we learn with our pocket books about these cup cars and that is where there is value here on this forum which has helped me in the past

have fun
