Torque sticks should not be used at any time! It is nearly impossible to correctly torque a fastener using a percussive tool such as an impact. According to the instructions supplied with the sticks,the impact wrench is supposed to be calibrated to insure correct torque with the sticks (and who ever checks the calibration of their impact?) If you are running a professional repair shop and using torque sticks you are opening yourself up to lawsuits if you do not calibrate and keep a log of your impact equipment. Throw them away and buy a good torque wrench.
