I was just wandering if its really important to torque it at the right spec. If so, what torque wrench would you recommend?

yea like tweak said.. only important things. We torque so that their is a certain amount of pressure going toward something.
I work on fighter aircraft and we have to torque just about everything because its essential for the componants to stay a certain pressure on a object so that it will get the maximum results. If you put too much pressure its tend to not work at all because you might break something or it might not work because their is a gap or something of the sort. Im kinda drunk right now but yea.. there ya have it
