Default Wire connection torquing ?

Do you mean actually using some sort of tool (like a torque wrench) to
twist a wire nut or turn a screw to the proper torque setting?

No, no one on the face of this Good Earth does that...
..except perhaps for the instructor of your code refresher class.

And he's probably the only guy to do it!!!

Me, I just twist the byjeezus out of the wire nut or screw. I only stop
turning when I'm convinced that further twisting is gonna break
something.

Same way I do it.....
Never had a connection fail in almost 50 years of wiring stuff.

But, then I'm not a pro; I just pretend to be one whenever I'm dealing
with someone who knows less than me about a subject.
