Do you use the torque multiplier to torque the nuts back on? Most of what I have read so far says dont do it and to use a torque adapter.
.
Not everybody has a 3/4 inch torque wrench and they aren't cheap either. Using a half inch and a torque multiplier will work.

And then comes the other part of the discussion... When I worked on trucks to pay my bills, I never torqued a wheel onto a military truck. Just the sights and sounds of the impact wrench hammering the lugs down tight was more than enough. For whatever it's worth, I never had one get loose or come off (ever).
Then as part of the torque discussion - I have to say one of the things that I learned was my Blue Point half inch impact wasn't nearly as good (powerful) as the Ingersol Rand 238. When the BP would run the nut into contact with the wheel, about 12 "hits" would be tight. With the IR (Ingersol) about 6 "hits" was a gracious plenty...
Guess the thing I am trying to say is, with enough OJT
experience there is no need for a wheel to be torqued with a measuring device. But how often does the MV enthusiast need to remove and reinstall a wheel with a tire onto their truck?
I would suggest that the first few times using a half inch torque wrench and a multiplyer is cheap insurance...
