Bikes: are better than yours.

I have torque wrenches but I rarely use them. With a good sense of what "tight enough" entails for various bolts, they aren't usually necessary. That comes with experience and if you're ham-handed, you might still need the security of a torque wrench.

When I do use a torque wrench, I generally find the torque spec is higher than what I'd use without one.
