Torque Wrench Settings
For Christmas I'm asking for a torque wrench so I can rotate my tires. I have a couple questions.
Which size should I get, 1/2 inch or3/8 inch?
What should I set it at when I'm putting the lugs back on?
Any particular type of torque wrench you like better than others?

Thanks.

What do you use the 3/8 inch for? What size socket do I use for the lugs. I have a 2005 SR5.

Are you using a 3/8 drive with a 21mm socket? If yes, where did you get the socket. I haven't been able to find one. ] [/B]
You can use any size you want to. The bigger the drive, the less force it takes in your arms. You can even buy reducer adaptors: for example I sometimes use a
