Had to choose between a torque wrench and a coffee pot in the hangar today
Picked the coffee pot because our morning huddle was getting ugly without caffeine. Now I'm torquing wheel nuts by feel and hoping my arm calibration is better than my judgment.

Arm calibration is a gamble every time. Some days my elbow feels like it's dead on, other days I'm overtightening things and chasing stripped threads. At least a torque wrench would have given me a fighting chance, but an angry morning crew is a risk nobody should be taking.

Angry morning crew" is something you don't need. Strip a nut and you'll wish you had the coffee.
