The lug wrench is a foot long.  If you are 135 lbs and you step on the end,
you would get the right torque.  Now, if you are not of the above mentioned
weight, you must adjust a little.  Either jump on it harder if you are
lighter or just put one leg on it with some authority.  If you have a torque
wrench, you can practice it to find the best result.
It is better than the wild machine gun style garage inpact wrench, that
never comes off with any normal method, othen than similar impact wrench
kind.
Merry Christmas and happy birthday Mr. Jesus Christ.
