Over here it's not Joe Sixpack but the infamous "fitters" in the
tyre shops.

Anyone seen using an air wrench on alloy wheels, for instance, should be
taken out and hung.

That seems to be about all of them.  Nominal torque on an ur-quattro's
wheels is 80 lb ft or 110 Nm - I've seen take-off torques up in the 300s.
