I don't know what you know about air impacts, but mine makes 400 lbs of torque to tighten and 600 lbs on the loosen side. its very easy to snap studs, a lot easyer then you think. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks Yetti you just prooved my point of a gun making more power in reverse. I know that it is very difficult to brake a chevy truck stud going forward. I am an A tech for a chevy dealer(ASE Master Technician,with L1 and X1 advanced ASE certs.) usually overtightening will strip the threads,gaul the wheel or cause the stud to spin in the hub. When a lug is cross threaded on it will tighten up,but going in reverse jams the threads and seizes the lug then that 600ftlbs. comes into play. Have a nice day.
