                    Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten each nut in a crosswise sequence. Tightening torque is 150 Nm.

                    Straight from handbook.

                        The exact one I bought, tightened all mine after car was serviced.. Garages just whip nuts up with an air socket

                            Most have cordless impact drivers now. Mine on setting 3 is 400nm. To be honest even a small impact drill for screws do over 200nm. I use 3/8 sockets with small gun when stripping smaller stuff.

                              Although the wrench will loosen the wheel nuts, I never do, loosen with a small breaker bar, only use the torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts.
