Anyone use an angle gauge when torquing the head?

The second and third steps are 90 degree turns. A gauge would be more accurate but I haven't read anyone mentioning it's use...

Quote:

Torque angle gauge
* The torque angle gauge is used to make sure there is equal tightness of fasteners on a component. It is calibrated in degrees.
* Tightening by angle rather than torque removes the error that is produced by friction in the threads.
