Torque on Lug Nuts
Quick question. Has anyone ever had to have their lug nuts re-torqued after having new tires installed?

Oh, . . . come on. Please stop it. I'm not saying that owning something like a Dewalt/PorterCable 6 gallon 120 volt pancake compressor (no affiliation) is the most efficient, production line industrial/commercial way to live your life. THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M/WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. Granted, when using a pancake style compressor, you may have to pause briefly to recharge the tank (to 165 psi) after breaking a few oyer-torqued lug bolts/nuts (maybe 650 ft-lbs in this case) but it WILL get them off so that you can, . . . git-er-done in an emergency situation rather than sitting dead in the water. (waiting for some (IMO) overpriced "expert" like you to show up)

I am sorry that you seem think that I infringe on your self-anointed "Expert Status."
You absolutely don't. (infringe on anything I do) You are free to be the biggest rolling a-hole you want. I won't hire you, I'm not impressed by you, I won't recommend you, nor am I intimidated by you. I call 'em like I see 'em. So, . . . have you ever taken a 3/4" drive pneumatic impact gun hooked up to a 6 gallon pancake style compressor and tried to remove some lug nuts/bolts @ 650 ft-lbs of torque? That's a rhetorical question. (which you needn't answer) I already know the answer.
