It's all to do with knowing the difference in a 'nip' and over tightening. But after rebuilding plenty of splits, personally a torque wrench is a waste of money on wheels.

More chance of stripping the nut thread than weakening the bolt.

I have a torque wrench so I will use it. I also weight 98kg with not a lot of fat so a little nip for me could be over tightening lol mates call me a heavy handed caveman  :grin:
