No clearly not, obviously you use the gun to undo them. In this conversation we were dicussing over-tighting not undoing and what I said is why people end up with wheel nuts that are over tightened | |

Windy guns dont do them too tight if you just run them up, its when they rely on the gun and dont use a torque wrench they become too tight. | |
