A line chief told me my torque wrench technique was 'all arm, no feel' during a 737 nose gear change.

Totally get that. Had a foreman tell me the same thing on a wheel change once. He said I was just muscling it and not listening for the click. Started putting my other hand on the head of the wrench to feel the vibration. It's a totally different thing when you get it right, way smoother. That old guy was right.

Man, @dylanwells, I had a buddy swear he wrecked a lug nut doing the same thing before someone showed him that trick.

That's solid advice from your foreman, @jamiesullivan, feeling the click changes everything.

Yeah, that click is everything. Once you feel it in your hands instead of just hearing it, you never go back.
