I would be very careful with that. I bought tires for my car several years ago and they used the right torque tube. I watched the guy so I know I used the right one and almost stripped the studs out. He did stretch the threads. I took the car back. They ask what color they had used and I told them. Oh no they were calibrated and couldn’t apply too much torque. Couldn’t until they checked the torque and then agreed there were way too much torque. It turns out if you hold the torque tube they will apply too much torque.
