Might want a look at this, especially the second and third paragraph. I happened to catch Pat doing this bit on his show recently and thought how things have changed. Back in my time you just slapped the dino on the *** and it went where pointed.
haha... "take 5 lbs and lift it a few times..." crazy. Just tighten by touch, you won't get it right without a torque wrench anyway. Also, using 5 lb to gauge, your wrench would not be a foot long so you would have slightly less torque anyway. So if you need to tighten a nut to 80 lb*ft, just lift a 80 lb weight a few yes...
