Torque Wrench

[Philip Hubbard <phubbard@carroll.com>]

A quick couple of questions about torque wrenches.

A necessity?  Specifically, I'm doing front end suspension, rotors, wheel
bearings and I am seeing torque settings.  How bad is it if I just "tighten
'em up good"?  :)

Assuming I should just get the torque wrench - is the micrometer type the
only way to fly or are those with the rod/scale ok as well.  They seem to
be much cheaper, but they seem a little flimsy.  Anyone have any personal
experience with them?

Thanks mucho.
