Any how-to's suggest
that everyone uses a torque wrench to set their wheel nuts. I've never
seen anyone use one on wheel nuts, but maybe that says more about the
people I associate with.....


Done right, that is how you do it. Our local "Discount Tire" place sets
their impact wrenches below minimum torque for tightening, then uses a
torque wrench on every nut. It's not just "practice", it's their policy.
