lol...as said above, they have been over-torqued and they same gun will be taking them off. How many of us carry an impact gun or send one with our wives when they go out? I worked for a tire store for 9 years and know the value of torquing lugs. The goal is to get the load even and tight enough to hold safely yet not so tight that they can't be removed with common tools that are in the back of most cars along with the spare. You torque "most" passenger lugs to about 80 lbs in a STAR or crisscross pattern.
