1/2 in Drive Torque bar 80 ft-lbs

[mandyfig]

I have been looking for an 1/2 “ Drive 80 ft-lbs torque extension bar (or stick). I can not find them easy, Ebay has 1 listing and it is steep if you include the shipping. They always come in sets, I only need the 80 ft-lbs because Honda and Toyota are identical in specs.

This will ensure the torque on the wheel lugs are always right. I am planning on getting an electric impact driver to help me with the wheel lugs. I am getting old, I need power tools!

I have been searching at Harbor Freight, they too have a set, no individual torque bars.

Anybody has a tip?

Did a quick google, and found this:

Though by the time you add shipping it's close to Harbor Freight's 3-piece set:

i used to have a 12V electric impact 1/2" drive, used it a few time and then the shaft cracked, and broke. never trust the chinese tool.
later, i went to lowes, and bought a DeWalt 1/2" electric impact drive (120V AC input), now i use it on lugnut, axle nuts, crank shaft bolts, all loosen and tighten with out any hiccup.

Just get a 1/2" torque wrench and a socket set from Harbor Freight. It's dirt cheap and you'll have the ability to do not only other cars' lug nuts, but a ton of other nuts and bolts as well.

Yup, that's what I got. But if you read the OP's original post, he specifically said he was getting old and didn't want to do it by hand.
