    Got one of these Shure-Steps senior steps to help my 88 year old Mom step into my truck and then added the other one to make a platform...great to reach the top of the cab when waxing or under the hood. They even have one for "mechanics"...

    These seem a little safer when using the uduga duga gun on lug nuts than sending it and grabbing the torque wrench.

    Yes, and I use them with my trailers' lug nuts and some car work (Tundra Pro skid plate and tow hook bolts). They work well with heavy duty impact wrenches in making sure lugs and other bolts are not over-tightened.

    This, I use them on lugs up to 80 and then finish with a torque wrench. I wouldn't use them for final torque, but to keep from going over they're good.

    Maybe for 10mm you never need to torque them that tight so 3/8” is all you need.
