The lug nut torque on my F-250 is specified at 165 ft-lbs, with is greater than the 150 ft-lbs maximum on my largest torque wrench, so I needed a different / additional tool to permit me to properly replace those wheels. I selected / purchased this Lexivon LX-184 250 ft-lbs torque wrench. The maximum setting of 250 ft-lbs on this torque wrench makes this a great tool for these higher torque applications.
This is a very nice tool. It is easy to use, to set and then lock at the required torque setting.
It is great that they include a calibration certificate. It is great that they include a storage case.
It comes w/ a one year warranty that is then changed to a two year warranty when the tool is registered on their website.

Thanks, it was, but has since been replaced w/ a larger (longer) trailer, to permit carrying more horses.
The gooseneck trailer trails and backs VERY well.
The ONLY potential issue is w/ the short bed truck, like mine, whacking the cab during extreme jackknife backing turns. Care is required.

Is that photo of the bit on the instruction 1/4″ hex shank bit?

Uncertain about the inquiry.
