Right - as a once-upon-a-time professional bicycle mechanic, I spent my share of time shearing cheap, small bolts.  

Your comment demonstrates you have a better feel than your torque wrench. 

I'll only note that finding accurately calibrated torque wrenches that were better than my judgement was always a challenge. Finding accurate estimates of torque settings for specific bolts and uses was even harder. 

That said - I'm with Dave. I grew up with and have invested a small fortune in Park tools through the years (and Darrell and MrVvrroomm appreciate, this is a US company that contributes significantly to the tax base of the Twin Cities in MN).
