[QUOTE=Tinker;3980924]My uncle was an airplane mechanic during WWII: he told me torque wrenches made a monkey out of him more than once. Bolts, nuts, & studs develop burrs & rough spots over time & believing the torque wrench leads to under-tightening things.

Torque wrench technology has improved some since WWII, not to refute your statement.
