I have slightly modified the rule for observing Torque wrench specifications. My personal belief is thatthey are to ensure that you dont undertorque a nut or bolt. Therefore to be consistent with this philosophy, I always take the torque spec and multiply it by a slight factor based on the criticality of solving the problem at hand. Hence to solve the leaking gasket for 11 ft- pounds, I lean my entire body into it and then nudge it 3 more times. For 30 foot pounds, I use a piece of pipe and a breaker bar. For 60 foot pounds, I also use a 20 pound mallet. For 100 ft pounds, I try to use the starter motor or some jury rigged device involving putting the car into gear.
