No, you didn't waste your money. The wrenches are used to hold the bolt while you torque tne nut on the opposite end.
But a well-equipped tool box needs at least two torque wrenches, maybe three or four. And make sure the wrenches are calibrated in Newton/Meters. Under
no circumstances should you use a ft/lbs wrench on a Mercedes!!!
