Any 'mechanic' or 'alignment tech' that doesn't own and use a torque wrench is an f$%*#' douche. I've made tire techs loosen the lug nuts and hand torque them to the proper torque with a calibrated torque wrench. The tire shop I go to hates to see me coming because I'm anal about the torque on my wheels. I watched one 'mech' throw the torque wrench across the floor when he was done, I made him go get another wrench and retorque the lugs.
