That's not what @Johnnyfootball2014 and @Brownslave688 say. They told @Operational needs she had to have a torque wrench or she couldn't fix her car.
It helps to have one to ensure quality work.
LOL. Been out of town. A torque wrench is vitally important in some situations. On brakes it is helpful to use a torque wrench to prevent distorting the rotors. Over tightening and uneven torque can distort the rotors when the wheels are installed.
I manage without one. I've been turning wrenches professionally for 20 years.
I suggest you read what @1BRONWRENCH posted. I never said a torque wrench was required to do brakes. To do the job correctly and accurately, yes you do. I merely was trying to give some advice to someone who doesn't know anything about cars( you ). I don't know a real mechanic that doesn't own one and use it for many different parts of the car. Manufacturers list torque specs for just about every nut and bolt in a car. They do that for a reason. Now if you want to trust a hack who doesn't care about accuracy, especially when it comes to safety. That's your choice. I'll trust someone who has been turning wrenches for 40 years and just about every make.Thank you!! @stopsperhour, you see this? Lol.

A personal preference I guess for you. Whether it's torque sticks or a wrench, you are still using either for accuracy. Someone who is a novice should always use a wrench. I've seen so many times when someone who thought they knew what they were doing, having to take the car to a mechanic to fix their repair.FYI I do use one all the time, but not on brakes or wheels. We use air impacts on the wheels with some forthcoming torque sticks. A torque wrench would take far too long.
I think all anyone here was trying to say is there's a lot of room between using a torque wrench for everything and being a hack. Some can't understand that I guess.FYI I do use one all the time, but not on brakes or wheels. We use air impacts on the wheels with some forthcoming torque sticks.
