I asked for a torque wrench for Christmas, and my girlfriend bought me one from Jegs that states it's for LUG NUT USE ONLY. It goes from 10-150 ft. pounds, and the certificate thing inside that case states that it is accurate to +/- 4%. I know most regular torque wrenches state that they are accurate to 3%, which is better than 4% obviously, but why are they for lug use only? I cannot even look up the manufacturers website, as there is no company listed. I know Jegs didn't make it.

Rather than taking it back, I decided to keep it specifically for putting wheels on, which would save my better torque wrench (when I get it) from getting beat around on tires and wheels, but I am wondering why it's for wheels only. Is the 1% difference in the accuracy the only reason?

Thanks,
