sometimes tight to one person aka a weak ass person like myself is differnt, so a torque wrench makes it so you know when its tight
and sometimes tight might be too tight for a bolt. not using a torque wrench could result in a bolt snapping off.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

And refering to what NC325iC said about sheering off bolts, its all in the feel. I can tell when a bolt is tight BEFORE it is anywhere near tight enough to sheer. It all depends though. Some people have the feel, others don't.
