My old foreman told me I was over-torquing every single wheel lug for a decade

He pulled me aside after a comeback and said 'you're fighting the nut, not the spec.' I started using a clicker on everything, even though I thought it was slow. Anyone else have a basic habit they had to unlearn?

My first boss said the same thing about air ratchets.

What did he say about them, just that they were junk?

Respectfully disagree, clickers have their place. @kelly638, ever had one fail on you?
