Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251

I just had a feed truck with 24.5 wheels break some wheel studs off and ruin the hubs and wheels.  Consensus at local garage is that they were stretched from too many overpowered ugga-duggas with air gun.

What is a good one inch drive torque wrench for this application?  Shop said to torque to 500 ft. pounds.

Thoughts?

Here is one I saw on Amazon......
