Wow you must feel great insulting me that way. Over-torquing does not necessarily mean the bolt has yielded. If the spec is 80 ft-lbs, and someone torqued their lug nuts (say 5/8"-18) to 90 ft-lbs, are you telling them to toss all their studs? Per spec, it's overtorqued, but it hasn't yield. Second of all, you're assuming too much about me. I put the bolts on by fingers first to get a couple threads on, THEN use the impact to SPIN them on. For god sake you make it seem like I hammer the **** out of the bolt. Do you take everything literally?
No one said a torque wrench is the end of all tool. Most just recognize it as a tool for a job, but I think you're getting carried away with it and exaggerating too much.
