+1. This is rule #1 about using a torque wrench... it's NOT a breaker bar. Rule #2 is don't store it under tension; set it to its lowest setting before putting it away. Rule #3 is the wrench exists to make sure you don't over-tighten bolts, not to make sure you tighten them enough.

I now keep a torque wrench in both my cars because I went through this myself a very long time ago
I always let the wheel shop or mechanic know to hand tighten which can really make a difference if you ever get aftermarket lugs |
