Very handy, appears to be quite accurate and well made. I used it to install winter tires and wheels, using the 80 ft.lbs. extension bar to tighten the wheel lug nuts closest to the vehicle tightening spec of 90 ft. lbs. I then used the torque wrench to finish tightening the lug nuts to specification, but before finishing, I checked the torque of the bar setting the torque wrench to 80 ft. lbs. and tightened and loosened the lug to see how accurate the bar was – it was very accurate to 80. Comes in nice plastic storage case. If you change wheels and tires on regular basis, you should have a set in the tool box.

The Husky 5-Piece 65-140 ft. lbs. Torque Limiting Impact Extension Bar Set includes 8 inch long extensions for 65, 80, 100, 120 and 140 ft. lbs torque limits. They come in a nice molded case with markings on both the tools and the case. In addition, each extension is color coded. The hinge and latch are of a design that should survive repeated use. The female end has two holes for ball/pin style secure attachment. The male end has the standard ball on one side. They are cold formed from chrome molybdenum alloy steel (Cr-Mo) to withstand heavy-duty impact use and have the standard Husky hand tool lifetime warranty.While the bars themselves cannot be calibrated, you do need to calibrate your impact wrench. You accomplish this with either a setting on the impact wrench or via air pressure. Once the gun is set, you can use these to achieve a fairly consistent torque limit rating. The lug nuts on my vehicle are designed to be tightened to 94 ft. lbs. so I used the 80 ft. lbs. extension and checked it against a standard torque wrench to find the extension did stop at 80 ft. lbs. I then used the standard torque wrench to take me to the final 94 ft. lbs. setting. Why not just use the standard torque wrench you might ask. It is much faster to spin on the lug nuts with an impact gun and using this extension kit allows me to do so without the worry of over tightening or breaking off a lug nut. Overall I’m happy with this set and it does its job well. I just wish the kit was twice as big and included extensions only 10 ft. lbs. apart instead of a 20 ft. lbs. gap between each extension.

This set comprises a molded plastic carrying case and five 8 inch long, torque-limiting, ½ inch drive, impact extensions ( 65, 80, 100, 120 and 140 Lb. Ft), intended for installation use only, using an impact type tool (electric or pneumatic). Manufactured in Taiwan, they appear to be of quality construction and, according to the packaging, are backed by a “Forever Guarantee”. Although the packaging notes that no calibration (of the tool) is needed, the instructions provided do outline a calibration procedure to be followed for each different impact tool (and air line pressure) these extensions are used with, to avoid exceeding the stated torque limits. When checked against a calibrated torque wrench, the 65, 80 and 100 LB-Ft extensions accurately torqued the lug nuts (the 120 and 140 LB-ft extensions were not tested due to lack of a vehicle with lugs rated for that applied torque). Each extension has its rating engraved in the shank and has two circumferential color coded lines on the drive end of each extension (although with use and the accumulation of grease and grime these two narrow lines could become difficult to discern). There is quite a spread between rated values, but if the value needed for your vehicle is close to one of the five provided, these would be a nice adjunct to your impact tool.

Husky 65-140 ft. lbs. Torque Limiting Impact Extension Bar Set (5-Piece) is a good set that comes with a sturdy plastic storage case. The set covers the most common sizes. They are intended to work only with an impact wrench and nullify the tightening blows at the designated resistance torque setting of the stick. Before using the extension bars they recommend they be calibrated to the impact wrench you are using. This is to match the wrench’s impact setting to that of the torque bar. Then check the torque bar after tightening the lug nut to a torque wrench. I did this and was worth doing as the lowest setting on my impact wench was enough to tighten the lug nut to the required torque. The torque bars are really easy to use just put an extension bar on the impact wrench as you would any other 8-inch extension. They are color coded and stamped on the side to use the right one. I checked the 80 foot pound torque stick for my car wheel lugs with my torque wrench and it was close. Its a worthwhile accessory for an impact wrench for those without built-in torque limiting. Given the power of impact wrenches to easily over tighten that can result in stretched nuts and other damage like shearing. You shouldn’t be using an impact wrench to tighten lug nuts without torque limiting, either in the wench setting or with a torque bar. Some have issues with them, but if you are concerned be sure to check it when done with a torque wrench that its tightened the nut to spec. I was hesitant to use my impact wrench to tighten nuts, always did it by hand until now that I’ve got this accessory.

This tools isn’t for removing lug nuts as you put in your specs part . Really?? Who writes up your products at home depot? Lol it’s for accurate lbs of tightening of the lug nuts…

Husky 65-140 ft. lbs. Torque Limiting Impact Extension Bar Set (5-Piece) great set. Makes torquing lug nuts easy
Amparo Pagac (verified owner) –
This kit arrived in perfect condition. The packaging was a clam-shell which was heat sealed on 3 sides, and required a nice set of scissors to open. The kit comes with a case, with a plastic red latch. If it’s anything like the red latches on my other Husky kits, it’s likely to break. However, this is a lighter kit, than others. I still like the case, as it’s easy to snap the extensions in and out of it. I measured the overall size of case, it’s 9 in x 5 in x 2 3/4in, take an 1/8 in. You’d need a hole this size in your tool box. The markings are clear, but felt the size could be bigger and thicker, say maybe as big as the Husky logo. Edges are well defined. Compared to a torque wrench, these were in the ball park. These are really used for wheels on a car, mostly. They are a great idea for anyone using an impact gun to put on alloy wheels. An impact can push lug nuts far deeper into aluminum alloy wheels, than people realize. So these torque sticks limit this, as they flex at a stated torque. Overall, very nice set, at a competitive price point. I recommend it.

Just used them to day! Great product and wished I had them along time ago

The problem with torque sticks is that they are not completely accurate, these work just as well or as poorly as the high dollar ones we use at the shop. The instructions have you set air pressure or settings on the gun to “calibrate” it. However that is only completely accurate for that wheel and that torque stick if you change to a different ft lb stick you will need to “calibrate” for that stick. That being said they are typically within about 10 ft lbs on the lower torques and 20 ft lbs on the higher torques, which is close enough for most cars and trucks. If you are loading your truck heavy, double check with a torque wrench, I usually spot check each car with torque wrench to make sure.

I tested these on my vehicle lug nuts with my DeWalt 20v Max 1/2″ impact driver, then checked with a Snap-on torque wrench and all were spot on. My vehicle is a 2015 F350. I began with the 65lb extension and worked up to the 140lb extension checking with the torque wrench after each.

This 5 piece set of “Torque Sticks” is a nice adjunct to the use of impact wrenches for installing lug nuts. Although generally intended for removing hardware, many use it to install lug nuts…and using these torque-limiting extensions can minimize the chance of over-torquing the nuts when doing so. Although the packaging notes that no calibration of the bar is required, the instructions outline a procedure for calibrating the impact tool itself. After going through the procedure outlined, it became clear that it is more than likely only a concern if you are using a really hefty impact gun, as I was able to use the bars with my impact gun at “full throttle” as it is a lighter capacity tool. Attention to the proper line pressure to your pneumatic tool is recommended. If your needed torque value is one of the five provided ( 65, 80, 100, 120 or 140 Lb-ft) these will get you almost spot on, although final torquing with a torque wrench is always recommended. As these torque sticks rely on the “twisting” of the “necked down” section to limit the applied torque, the use of an impact gun is required. These tools can be used with either “detent” style or “pin and O-ring” style impact tools. Manufactured in Taiwan, they appear to be of quality construction and they are covered by the “Guaranteed Forever” policy noted on the packaging.Each bar is color coded, though only by the use of two circumferential lines at the driven end. If this wears, one can still identify which one is which by the imprinting on the shaft of the bar. However, the two small lines are more difficult to pick out than when the entire tool is color coded (as other versions are). Other than the minimal color coding and the large gap in torque value from 80 to 100 Lb-ft (sticks for 90 and 95 would have been nice), this would have earned a fifth star. Checked against a calibrated torque wrench, the results for the values supplied were acceptably close.

Buy it in usa, not in stores in Canada . Any torque wrench air/electric , easy to use I love the coulours code, juste check the specs for your vehicule. I just have to re torque with a manual troque wrench to make sure it’s ok and you’re ready to go.

Used the 100 ft-lb one while rotating the tires today on both my 1/2-ton and my wife’s Escape. There is a well-described calibration process in the included instructions. As I was using my Milwaukee High-Torque 18-volt impact, which doesn’t have the adjustability that obviously an air impact would, I decided to just set a few nuts and then check them against my mid-range torque wrench, and all were spot-on. This convenient set comes in a nice case, making it easy to store. These Taiwan-made extensions appear to be of very good quality, as are most mechanic items coming out of that country nowadays. The set does feature a lifetime guarantee, should you ever have a problem with them. Wish I had got a set a long time ago, and sure glad to have them.

Great price point, if I were to purchase them on a tool truck from work they would cost 4 times more than what I paid for them at Home Depot. I use these extensions multiple times a day at work & they are really bullet proof!!! Highly recommend this product!
Pietro Beatty (verified owner) –
I really like these torque limiting impact extensions as a way to quickly get pretty close to the desired torque when putting your wheels on your vehicles. If you’ve got a vehicle where you rotate the tires frequently or where you swap in other tires these are great because they get you to a good torque without much fuss.The only trick with them is that they need to be calibrated in for your impact driver at a given air pressure. They recommend you try it out a few times and compare the results to a proper torque wrench. Once you get the right torque you record the pressure you used and just go back to that in the future.Overall, really happy with these as a time saver.
