there are a lot of places to use torque wrenches, every single fastner has a torque setting. So some are necessary some not so much. Head gasket, manditory, wheels a good idea. so a wide range of use or not use. what is your particular beef? I don`t know a single mech that doesn`t use a torque wrench some where. KB
