Use a Torque Wrench to Prevent Overtightening Bolts

Every DIY mechanic should have a torque wrench at hand to prevent stripping and overtightening bolts.

A perfect example are oil drain plugs and wheel lug nuts.

Set the torque setting on your wrench by twisting the handle to the desired parameters.

Handle a torque wrench with care and never drop it, as that could throw it out of calibration.
