I must say, for the first time I decided to use my torque wrench on my seat post, stem and seat rails to check if I had over tightened the with a regular hex wrench based off all of the paranoia on the forum.

Now, I used my big boy torque wrench, which might not be the most accurate for 8-10nm when it goes up to 120lbs...anyway....

Turns out, I had undertightened every one I tested by just a bit.

I have gone by feel for a long time, and turns out, I was pretty close, and actually on the loose size by a 1-2lbs.

I like the Pedro's wrench...going to stop by Sears and see if they have something similar for under $120 though and compact for our applications and space.
