How important are torque wrenches when installing a crankset onto a steel frame? I definitely don't have $100+ to spend on a tool that I'll use a handful of times in my life, and I like to do as much work on my own at home as I can. From the month or so I've been posting here, I know you're someone who definitely always leans more towards the "correct" way of doing things, but just exactly how important are getting the correct Newton-meters on something like this?
