Depends where it is!

 

I wouldn't want my brakes done up to 5Nm....

I don't generally tend to use a torque wrench. I just do things up tight. A bit of common sense will see you through on most things. I would always use a torque wrench for head bolts and the like.

I rarely use a torque ratchet, unless its somethin critical like a head etc. Judge it by the size of the pin, if its only a small bolt, dont go crazy on it

Very.

 

Torque figures are there for a reason, on all components.
