I also use that HF torque wrench successfully for years. In the past I was anal about checking lug nut torque. I say in the past because for the last few years I've either become lazy or realistic depending on perspective.
Background: "back in the day" I was somewhat of a gear head, at least before marriage & children.
'72 Grand Torino pulling a 22' jet boat with an Olds 454 on a trailer painted to match with matching wheels with the Torino. Yes, terribly overloaded but the aftermarket stereo did The Who justice.
. Anyway, back then the aluminum wheels seemed to require torqueing after wide temperature changes, hard driving, etc. The motions became as second nature as washing the vehichles.
FF a few decades: I noticed that the wheel torqueing that had invaded my DNA wasn't necessary. I realized that after an initial install and 50 to 100 mile check the wrench just clicked indicating no backing off of the nuts. I suspected my wrench was out of spec. Checked it against a freinds calibrated and certified wrench and mine was "close enough". Still warey I used witness paint and sure enough, no movement. The alloy wheels of today a far different than the aluminum wheels of days gone by. Just my observations, YMMV.
