[TowerTalk] Proper Torque

[Ted Leaf]

Hi guys,

Several of the instruction manuals for rotors and antennas say to torque the 
bolts to 100 inch pounds.

Now not having a torque wrench, I am guessing that would be about as tight 
as a 145 pound guy (like me) can lighten with a 4"-5" box-end or open-end 
wrench--not a socket.

Am I close?
