Take it with a grain of salt but I've heard to not bother with torque wrenches for personal use because of accuracy and calibration issues. Take into consideration: How accurate is the instrument and how accurate will it be a year from now? How do you calibrate it? Is it measuring 80 lbf.ft the same as the one at the shop? I've been told to make sure they're snug but don't take a dump when you tighten them... but be careful with what you read on the internet.
