Here’s something that I have seen shop mechanics do that makes my jaw drop:
I have seen then tighten up a nut or bolt with an impact gun, then check the torque with a torque wrench.
Problem?: checking it with a torque wrench does not insure you have the correct torque. It only insures that you have not undertorqued but have also most likely overtorqued the fastener.
