A butterfly gun? That's really low. I definitely don't have the worlds best gun and at the lowest setting and 100 psi,one ugga dugga is ~90 ft-lbs. I've never bothered to turn it up to see what max is.
That would be nice my cordless is around 1200 ft lb so I just touch them off and check with the torque wrench.
Sent from the future
This, if I rush it takes me 30 minutes start to end for all four wheels, if I take my time an hour. Half the time is getting the wheels from the shed and putting the others back.
Floor jack under control arm or mount (depends on wheel), add tension but keep wheel on the ground so it does not spin.
Break lugs free with breaker bar.
Jack the wheel up.
18v (Bosch) impact to spin off lugs.
Swap wheel.
18v impact to install lugs.
Drop jack.
Final torque with torque wrench.
Repeat three more times...
Why I never thought of this one before.... last year I started using the wheel barrel to move the wheels from the shed to the car and back.
I can also use my MAC impact gun but I find the above faster and my compressor is crap. I like that the 18v impact really gets me just under the end torque but that also means it won't break them free. The spec says it should, it does not in the real world....
Old men need love too.girlfriend??
Be happy buddy!
Eight months ago i had no reasons to go on. Good friends, family and Bernadette have me in a much better place.
I think there is a corner of the internet about that.
Oh brampton. Poor ladies.

A source tells CityNews one woman was hit by a car travelling eastbound as she crossed the street. The second woman ran over to help, and it’s believed both were struck by another vehicle travelling westbound.
EDIT:
It gets even worse. Police have released an update. Hit by three vehicles and at least one took off. We really need to improve our hit and run laws as that seems to be the default position for many drivers.
"Investigators say a 41-year-old woman was crossing the street around 5:45 a.m. and was struck by an eastbound car and sent flying into the westbound lanes, where she was then struck again by an SUV that fled the scene.
Const. Mandeep Khatra says a 31-year-old woman, described as a Good Samaritan, witnessed the incident and went to help the other woman. Both were struck by a third vehicle travelling in the westbound lane."

Laws don't stop people from fleeing. Enforcement does. Insurance costs, inflation, poverty, refusal to follow other laws, trying to live an unsustainable lifestyle, and panic result in fleeing.Oh brampton. Poor ladies.

Even when enforced, I think it needs a far bigger stick (start with mandatory 20 year license suspension for instance). We have swung way too far towards driving being a right in Ontario. If it's a privilege as they pretend, it should be easy to revoke that privilege for abusing it.
Don't tell that to the people who lost their license and car for a week (or two) over HTA 172, without first being found guilty in a court of law. It's not a matter of laws, but one of a term I coined long ago: "Governance by sound-bite." Politicians tend to concentrate on the wrong things because they provide profile bumps, which in turn get them re-elected. If you have cops sitting in cars at speed traps, enforcing artificially low speed limits instead of on patrol for dangerous behaviour, you're making a choice about what you think is important. Is it important or is it showing some politician that your force is "effective", while simultaneously filling coffers?
Doesn't look any worse than many of those vehicles with the blacked out rear window.
I can just picture the "for sale" ad now:Mint BMW 320i xdrive with tasteful mods
Only minor accident (can be easily fixed, quoted by mechanic for $50)
No lowballerZ...I know what I got.
Will deliver for additional $$$
The guy actually paid the towing/impound fees to get it back. Wow.
Wow. I figured the SUV was at fault by merging too slowly. I did not expect them to be attempting a U-turn. Glad the truck got them and they didn't kill innocent victims. I feel bad for the truck driver.
