Wheel nut torque

I'm usually about 1/8 to 1/4 turn accurate with my spider, so I don't always bother with the wrench.
Unless it's a car I'm unfamiliar with.
Then again, it's the simian-sensitivity massive over-tighteners I cannot stand.

The method i use is normally in the feel of my arm. but then i have been tightening bolts up all my life and do have good feel. On balance i tighten much more than the recommended torque.
But i really do think most people should use a torque wrench and it really is the best and safest advice that one can give.
But don't forget a torque wrench takes in to account all of the forces that act on the nut/bolt. Thread friction, dirt , dent's, scratch's, lubrication, the fit between both thread parts which all add to the pressure and friction between the components being joined by the fastener. So the worst case would be a nut not actually doing any thing to hold the 2 parts securely together.
Boring !
Mine is 26 fl ounces, please
Is that a pint ?
Or .6 of a litre
Don't dam well check and prove me wrong, its all a guesstimate
