What's All the Fuss About Torque?
Torque, in layman's terms, is how hard your wrench is trying to twist things. Too little, and your bolts might loosen up and start a life of their own. Too much, and you'll be buying new bolts faster than you can say "Oops!"
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
The One Key to Your Torque Heart (No, Really)
If your Milwaukee impact wrench is One Key compatible, you're in luck! This little app is like the Swiss Army knife of tool control. You can set custom torque levels, monitor battery life, and even find your wrench if you're the kind of person who leaves tools in mysterious places (we won't judge).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Manual Mode: For the DIY Daredevil
If you prefer the thrill of manual settings, fear not! Most Milwaukee impact wrenches have adjustable settings. It's like being a DJ, but instead of beats, you're mixing torque.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.

- Use the Right Socket: A loose socket is a torque disaster waiting to happen.
