Default Quick question!

Hey guys. Quick question...I will be buying some McGard spline drives. I was wondering what the drive size is on the "installation tool" because I am also purchasing a torque wrench. I have searched in the forums as well as google and came out unlucky . I know you guys would help! Thanks much!

most are 19mm.

My both my Volk duralug and Gorrilla tools were 19mm. Same size as the stock lug nuts.

The spline drive "key" has a 21mm hex head. I have the same lugs. The size of the drive on the torque wrench is not relevant except to make sure it goes to the torque settings you need and you can get the sockets in the size you need for that drive.

most Ft/Lbs tq wrenches that are 20-200 ft/lbs are going to be 1/2" drive.

get a 19 and 21mm sockets, and a 1/2" breaker bar .
