    i suppose the size of the wrench dis-allows over-tightening. and the breaker bar easily addresses over-tight lugs by over-eager tire shop hulks...
    I wonder how our weight can be used as a torque indicator. I always tighten my lugs with my weight by standing on the wrench, that's all, no jumping on it, just a 2 second stand on each lug. I am 65 kgs.

    The tire boys most probably tighten it more as i have to jump around 1-3x before i get 1 loose, unless, it tightens over time with use?

    The torque used to tighten a fastener is measured in pound feet (pound force) or kilogram force meter.
    It is derived from multiplying force in pound times length of the arm in feet or force kilogram times length of arm in meters.


    High school physics i think

    Naalala ko tuloy si Botchie Santos ng Topgear magazine.
    Yung proper way is to tighten it buy not ovetighten with your hands then use a torque wrench to check. But if you do not have that wrench, just tighten by hand. It won’t loosen if it tightened just right. You are not even supposed to grease the nuts. It has a tendency to loosen when greased.

    How to Use a Torque Wrench - How to Tighten Lug Nuts
    In this article, it tells you why you shouldn’t use an extension bar, a pneumatic wrench or jumping on the wrench to tighten it.

    Thank you guys, now I know that I was applying 145 lbs/ft or a little less maybe cause the stock wrench is about 10" only. I quick internet search say 80 lbs/ft only or around 40 kgs force in my case.

    Now, now I have to reduce my weight by 25 kgs.

    Hand tighten nga lang, no need na sipain pa para humigpit, kontra naman sa takbo ng gulong kaya hindi yan matatanggal. Bawal nga din ang grease.

    I always have a 1/2 drive swivel 18 inch handle chrome vanadium breaker bar under the car seat and appropriate sized deep socket for the lug nut. Adds extra self defense, kesa tubo ang dalhin ko.

    Passenger cars are usually 90-110 N.m, HD trucks around 150-200 N.m
