Default Torque Limiting bars

How do they work? I have seen these things, but they just look like extention bars, but all different colors.

if i understand what ur asking, they r for impact wrenches, and they limit the torque by flexing enough to keep from transfereing the full amount of the impact. mostly used for wheels to keep from over tightening

Yeah Big Ed was right on the product. That would make sense, I just alway thought they broke if pushed pasted their rating.

Thanks

its good if ur at a tire shop or dealership cause u dont have to take much time with them. they used them at ranger on the boat trailers cause the dumbasses there would put a impact on and hit and hit untill the lugs broke. bunch of dumbasses worked in the trailer shop though
