Changed my mind about using a torque wrench on every lug nut
I was at my buddy's garage in Cleveland last month swapping tires and figured I'd just 'feel' the torque like I always did. Three days later I heard a clunk on the highway and one wheel was almost off. Anyone else learned this lesson the hard way?

Learned that one the hard way myself last winter lol. That clunking sound is terrifying and a torque wrench is cheap insurance. Trusting your arms over actual torque specs is a mistake you only make once.

And a torque wrench only saves you if you actually use it right. You double checking the click on a rusty bolt like I did?
