Harbor Freight has been advertising such a tool, but for car and light
truck lugs. I think it's a good idea. I havn't bought one, nor used
one.

The jarring when the nuts let go when I change a truck tyre is
starting to
hurt too much. I usually use a 3/4 drive T bar with a 36" cheater pipe
slid
onto it.

Has anyone used one of these torque multiplier units as shown at the
link
below?

The video is kind of lame but it seems to show the unit working.
Without
having seen a unit in the hand, it seems that the leg sticking out the
side
that takes the full "reaction" torque looks a little weak.

cheers
