Sounds like a lot of people need a "hug"
PS: If you use a torque wrench you need to validate it's accuracy. It is easy for me since I work at a nuclear plant and I can do it to NIST standards in the calibration lab. I once bought a torque wrench and checked it first (as I always do) it was off 40%. It was not adjustable like some such as high end Snap-ON ones so I exchanged it.
You can do this yourself by attaching to something that is tighened higher than your setting and attach a weight to the handle where you hold an validate the reading/click for your setting. The wrench needs to be in the horizontal so the weight hangs vertically. Hope this makes sense.

PS: Meant to also recommend you check the accuracy at the lowest and highest setting you plan to use, I also do it at mid range. It is normal for accuracy to be within 2% to 3% of your setting.
