Good info, but at 135 ft.lbs., you are never going to get those off at the side of the road! I do 110.

I can get 140lbs off with out any issues (I have mine at 140, but will change to 135 from now on), by hand but getting them to it is the tricky part, since I only weight 140-150lbs haha
I also change my tires twice a year, Between Winter and Summer tires/rims

If you have a 2' long ratchet, you can do 280!

I have a 18" 3/8" Breaker Bar, 18" 1/2" Breaker Bar and a 24" 1/2" Breaker Bar and then my 1/2" Brown Line Digital Torque Wrench.

Everything here is rusty, so Breaker bars are a must have, lol
But I have never had a issue removing Lugs with the OEM Wrench
