What kind of toque wrench?
I'm shopping around the web to find one and figured I'd ask what brand you have or recommend? This will be mostly to torque my wheel lugs of course...

Just for lug bolts a Sears or even Harbor Freight "click" type. Saw a review that compared them to Snap-on very favorably. Just remember to return the torque setting on the wrench to near zero when you're done. It keeps the wrench in calibration by not keeping the spring compressed.

That is something else I don't know AT ALL about. And I feel stupid asking but I guess now's the time..
What should I torque my wheels too? Is it different for different cars/wheels/etc? |
