......and learn how to use it!
I am tired of reading threads that result from dealing with improperly torqued fasteners......... In addition, get a manual or take the time to find out what the proper torque values are for the fasteners associated with the job you are doing.
I have followed this advice for over 30 years and the ONLY time I have ever had a subsequent problem was the one time I forgot to torque the lug nuts on the RH rear wheel of the 80 shortly after I did a tire rotation. I was driving down the street when I heard a "thunk" and I pulled over to discover a missing lug nut and 5 loose ones....
Buy or borrow a good torque wrench, learn how to use it, determine the proper torque settings, double-check yourself and sleep a lot more soundly.
