Torque wrench calibration? Nah, I trust my arm. Big mistake.

For 8 years I torqued lug nuts by feel, thought I was golden. Last month at the Delta hangar in Atlanta, a line guy flagged one of my mains and showed me it was 30 ft-lbs over spec. Picked up a used CDI wrench for $120 and now I actually sleep better. Anyone else still running on vibes instead of a calibrated click?

Stop overthinking it, we all got feel and the gauge is just a suggestion.
