I use a CDI Torque Wrench and Craftsman 21mm Socket. I rotate every 5k.
CDI is part of Snap-On, buy once cry once. I’ve seen a couple of the Craftsman wrenches fail.
I broke my CDI torque wrench trying to crush a crush sleeve on a gear install. I contacted them about repair and they said it'd be $90 just to look at it. I bought a Tekton to replace it and am quite happy.
For sockets I bought this handy little set

150 ft-lbs on an F 250 with 8 lugs/ wheel. I think F 350's are 165 ft-lbs but double check, because i dont own one...

150 lb.ft regardless of 250/350 according to the 22MY owner's manual since it doesn't distinguish between them.

I’m seeing the same thing. Glad I picked it up when I did. With such a steep discount, I was wondering if they were becoming discontinued or there was an updated model on the way. I guess not.

Knew I should have acted quicker on that. Well I guess you live and learn.

May i recommend you swing by your local Lowes. Sometimes i noticed that the items in store were marked on sale longer than online. And i can confirm seeing the sale sticker a few days ago when i visited my local store ( i was buying 21mm sockets when i noticed it still on sale)

Are the lug nuts a ball seat or are they the flat angle style?

Flat seat (not angled or tapered) with torque lock serrations.

I carry a DeWalt impact wrench in the truck. I carry a standard socket, but others have recommended a metric socket. I’ll have to look and see what the socket is, actually. But 21mm seems about right. I’ll amend this post shortly.
Yep, I carry a 13/16 socket (mainly cause that was all I had when I put a kit together). I’ll probably get chastised for being a fraction off, but that’s what I have on hand. Eventually I’ll get what I need (hopefully before I need it!).
I just checked, and it seems to me that the 13/16 socket fits better with less play or wiggle than a 21mm socket on the tremor lug nuts. Seems weird to me.

I just rotated my tires for the first time and found the same - 13/16" is the best fit...

Same here. 21mm is too sloppy.

For removing the caps, get a typical brake spoon, like this one. These work perfectly, and if you tow a trailer a lot, you can also adjust the trailer brakes with it. Here's a link:

I found that the small molded hook on the end of the jack handle worked perfectly for this.

If you back out two lug nuts across from each other a little at a time, the center cap will come off with them, no other tools needed.
