As stated earlier, simple beam type torque wrenches are inexpensive yet effective.

I would definitely think twice about not using a torque wrench when putting your lug nuts on your vehicle. Just wait till they back off because you thought they were tight enough.

Hypothecally speaking, if one were to suggest that yes, you would be OK, and then something were to happen, would the respondent thereby be held liable in part by the advisee for any perceived and/or factual responsibility relating to any damages incurred by such suggestion?
