Gad you're excited for this. I'm not sure why my comments would surprise anyone.

I've worked on cars my whole life, when you get into the 100's of ft-lbs to torque something it's no joke. Even with the right tools it takes a monstrous amount of leverage and effort. You can seriously get hurt if you're not careful. I only see this being useful if you're in a race where you go through multiple sets of tires. Most people that track their cars don't. They will however swap out wheels and/or brake pads before getting on track. The added time to change out your wheels is not an issue since you're not in the middle of a race yet. Having to remove the rear caliper just to change pads takes longer than swapping all four wheels.
