Yes, I use a torque wrench on EVERY bolt! If there isn't a listed torque spec, I refer to the grade, diameter, and thread pitch and torque accordingly.

I concur with the "battery" issue! It seems that every time I get the digital caliper out, the GD display is flashing. I keep a few packs of 357 batteries in the drawer. I use the digital caliper when measuring something set up on a machine and cannot read the manual dial with my shitty eyes...
