I used to take the vehicles to the company that rhymes with Squab for the semi annual tire swap, but they snapped several studs using the air guns--SO I started doing the change myself.
Maybe I need to stop buying trucks from Mexico, made with steel from China???? O.K. I've vented!!!!!

If so you may need to clean the studs cause the nuts are threading on farther due to thinner wheel construction. May be especially true if grease or something has been used and has collected dirt/debris.
I wold also think the required torque setting for your truck is 135lb/ft or more.

The OP's profile says he has a 2010 Dodge 2500 Laramie. No mention of what wheels he has but it's safe to assume one set of wheels are OEM as he says it's his annual change. So the other wheels have been used on his truck before and perhaps with no issues since this is his first mentionung of a stud problem.

I change wheels and tires in spring and fall-- aggressive snow tires for winter. So far, I've broken two wheel studs while using a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts. They both broke at about 80 ft. lbs. of torque.

Lets get back on track here! "but they snapped several studs using the air guns" If you have paper work or they have documentation of this, then you should be talking to the store manager about on going problems, and ask them to change out all the studs again, leaving the air gun on the rack!!!!
You will then be back to a known good set of studs. At this point you do not know how many others were stretched.
To the poster above, it is called stud centric or hub centric wheels!

Your post is exactly why I have 2 sets of tires and wheels for winter and summer that I do myself. Heck Les want's $35 per season to change out, that's $70 a year for putting on winter rubber times 7 years, you can do the math :W No stud charge either!!!!

If the wheels are aluminum and have conical lugs, and they were not re-torqued after ~50-100 miles after each installation, then that is just as bad is under-torquing them from the get-go.
