[William Dorsett]

Glenn, these pre-set wrenches are still pretty pricey. Are there some you’d recommend?

For fasteners that are used often and in volume, you can buy pre-set torque tools that make compliance and repetitive securing a no-brainer.

I get the torque wrench out occasionally to check, especially if using some new hardware with different specs.  However on a daily basis, I generally do it by feel.  I have come across an amazing number of over and under torqued connections over the years, though, so it really is an issue for all of us to watch out for.  Even though I'm not toting a torque wrench up on the roof, I still hand tighten the final half turn on all connections, to make sure they are right.  I don't run a big crew anymore, but I could see the advantage in having pre-programmed settings for the new people.
