The Torque Multiplier Lug Nut Tool with Extension Bar and Handle part # PT87RR has a 58:1 torque ratio so every 1 ft. lb. of torque applied to the tool will result in 58 ft. lbs. of force exerted. For example, if you set a torque wrench to 8 ft. lbs. and used this on the multiple it would exert around 464 ft. lbs. Please note, there will be some variation in torque due to both the accuracy of the torque wrench and multiplier.
