plastic lug nut indicators

[trashman]

Hi,
Has anyone installed the plastic lug nut indicators to check for loose nuts on thier trailer?

I work in the shop of a coach bus company. We have them installed on all our coaches as a visual indicator to our drivers while doing pre / post trip inspections.

I prefer to look for actual indicators of loose lugs, like light rust but that's just me.

The only place I see them is on local school buses, they are a bright neon green, I don't think this is something I need on the RV.

I picked up a good torque wrench when they were on sale; I find that works for me.

There is no substitute for actually torquing your lug nuts properly. Most folks don't do it though.
