I agree with Colvert. For smaller fasteners "Snug" is good.
When I worked in the trade back in the ol' days of the 70's and 80's
we generally only used torque wrenches for parts that required even fastening with multiple fasteners like cylinder heads and rod and main bearings or accuracy in tightening for precise parts as in gearbox bits.
I do find that I now own more torque wrenches than I did when I made my living with them. Mind you, a KV6 is quite a bit more complex than a B or A-series engine!
