For anybody who was thinking of buying one of thse multiplyers off ebay...you kow the one thats about $175 I can give it a good report. They now come with 4 sockets that cover most sizes you will run across. Worked great and the price was definitely right

Thanks for the report Tim. I have been putting off buying one until I was certain it would work on my bus wheels. Sounds like it should cover it.

Add an electric 1/2 in impact and some adapter sockets so you can easily and quickly run the nuts off and on, along with the multiplier.

I do this, it is a great addition to that tool

use the electric impact to remove the wheel nuts but don't use it to put it back on. I made an adapter for mine so that I can use a very small torque wrench on it to re-torque the nuts. It only takes, If I remember correctly, 8.5 ft lbs to give me 450 ft lbs on the nut.
I have it written down but the math isn't hard to do.
You are going to like this tool.
