Lug nut figures are from the 1995 to 2021 lug nut torque chart published by James Halderman and the Load Trail wheel torque sheet, read in full on our torque guide. Our three tiers are maximum breakaway torque for loosening; tighten with a torque wrench at the figure in your manual.
By the job
The impact wrench breaks lug nuts and hub bolts loose, the nut driver set takes the hose clamps and the trim screws, and the grease gun feeds the ball joints and the hitch. One case each, two batteries in the cordless ones.
Fittings by the dozen on a tractor and its implements, fed by a 12,000 PSI gun with two batteries and a 39.4 inch hose, and an impact wrench in the 900 and 960 ft-lbs tiers for the pins and rims that seized over winter.
An 8 inch manual pair with a gauge, rated 880 lb together, and a 10 inch electric lifter rated 662 lb that pumps its own vacuum and tops it up. Both for clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces, and both with a case.
What you can hold us to
Every figure on a product page is one our own product data states for that tool: pieces, torque, pressure, flow, load, battery, speed. Nothing is carried over from a neighbor, and nothing is rounded up to sound better.
Prices change at the source, so we update them on a schedule and print the date on one page, our methods page. Where a figure here and the one at checkout disagree, trust the checkout.
That is the standard behind the Bluebow essentials.
Torque, PSI, flow and load as printed for that model. A tool that does not state a speed has no speed on its page.
We update prices several times a month and date the update on our methods page, nowhere else.
Batteries, charger, hoses, sockets and bits are listed per kit, read from the box of that kit.
7 years of cordless and hand tools under the Bluebow name, and one page that says what we make and for whom.
Since 2019
For 7 years the Bluebow name has gone on cordless tools and hand tool sets for people who maintain their own machines: a 1/2 inch impact wrench in three torque tiers, a 12,000 PSI grease gun kit with two batteries, magnetic nut driver sets from 12 to 86 pieces, suction cup lifters rated by the pound, an electric cutter for cardboard and fabric, and a drywall sander with its own discs. The tools are built for the garage, the farm and the job site, and sold with every figure printed where you can check it.
Before you order
Look up the torque your vehicle maker prints for its lug nuts and hub bolts before you pick a tier. A wrench rated far above that figure is for breaking rusted fasteners loose, and the final tightening still belongs to a torque wrench.
Read the torque guideA tractor, a baler or a skid steer carries dozens of grease fittings. The flow rate in ounces per minute and the two batteries in the kit tell you how many you get through before a swap.
Read the grease gun guideA load rating is a figure on a clean, dry, smooth surface. Weigh your glass, tile or granite, keep well under the rating, and never lift porous or textured stone with a cup.
Read the lifter guideEvery Bluebow nut driver has a 1/4 inch hex shank with a quick-release groove. It fits an impact driver, a drill chuck and a 1/4 inch bit holder. If you only ever use a 3/8 inch ratchet, this is not your set.
See the nut driver setsThe 12-piece covers the common SAE and metric sizes. The 54, 80 and 86-piece sets add driver bits, adapters, an extension and a wing nut driver. If you own those already, the small set is the honest buy.

The impact wrench loosens, the torque wrench finishes. Lug nut figures from the published charts, the four steps the tire trade teaches, and what breakaway torque really means.

Farm and fleet
A refilled gun hisses and moves nothing until the air is out. The bleeding routine, what the pressure is for, and the injury hand surgeons see from grease guns.

A rating is a figure for a clean pad on a clean surface. How a cup holds, where the rating comes from, which surfaces leak, and what to check before the lift.

Every product page on this site has a button that opens that exact tool, in the piece count, torque tier or color you picked, at our retail partner. That is where the price is confirmed and you check out.
Any of the three breaks a lug nut loose: passenger cars and half-ton pickups are tightened to roughly 83 to 150 ft-lbs, against 737.5 to 960 ft-lbs of breakaway torque. Pick the 900 or 960 tier for trailers, tractors and bolts that seized over a winter. Tighten with a torque wrench at the figure in your manual; the torque guide has the chart.
Yes, it couples to standard zerk fittings through a 39.4 inch flexible hose. The kit develops up to 12,000 PSI to clear a plugged fitting and moves 5.3 or 7.05 ounces a minute depending on the kit. How to bleed the air after a refill is in the grease gun guide.
It depends on the box: 12, 21, 54, 80 or 86 pieces. Every box has the magnetic drivers in SAE from 1/4 to 9/16 inch and metric from 6 to 14 mm on a 1/4 inch hex shank; the larger boxes add driver bits, socket adapters, extensions and a wing nut driver.
The manual 8 inch pair is rated 440 lb per cup and 880 lb together, the 10 inch electric cup 662 lb, on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces. Textured stone and dusty or wet surfaces leak. Weigh the sheet and keep well under the rating; the lifter guide explains the checks.
The grease gun kit and the impact wrench each ship with two 21 V 4.0 Ah batteries and a charger; the electric suction cup ships with four 3.0 Ah batteries; the electric scissors charge over USB-C. The drywall sander is corded.
Since 2019. That is 7 years of cordless and hand tools under the Bluebow name. More is on our about page.
