RE: Torque
Torque wrench. $40-$300
<$120 are set with a locking dial that has markings as to what the TQ is set at. When you reach the preset limit the TQ wrench 'Clicks' and gives a little on the handle.
More expensive units are digital and will 'Beep' at you.
Oh and you NEVER want to use air tools to torque things down. Loosing is fine but using air tools to tighten things down is a good way to break bolt and warp things.
