Had a flat the other night (worn out goodyears) and trying to get the first lug off, torqued the lug wrench round like a piece of licorice. I had to have my brother bring me a 4-point (+) hardened steel lug wrench and it took the MIGHT of both of us grown ass men to get those lugs off. So, now I need a lug wrench and lug nuts, as they started to slip and strip under our force. We got them off but I don't want this to happen again. Should I invest in a torque wrench and just stop letting mechs over power them with their impact tools?
What size is the lug? I assume an extra slim socket would be necessary?
