Is torquing bolts scary to you?
When working on bike or car I torque everything to spec. But when I am torquing bolts it fells like they are going to strip, it never does, and my torque wenches are right on the money. So I think it is just me being paranoid. I was wondering if anybody else fell this way when torquing bolts.

Yea, it is that "crush washer" that feels weird!
I use a beam type torque wrench - missed the click once on a click type and made a hellofalot of extra work!!!
- and you can usually feel when a fastener is about to let go. If you aren't at rated torque and it starts getting easier to turn, it is time to figure out what's wrong.
