Phono cartridge torque wrench


Hi Guys & Gals

Do any of you use a torque wrench when tightening your cartridge to your tonearm or do you just use a regular screwdriver or Allen key? 

Thank you

@oldheavy, let'em know, center out in a criss cross pattern.

I still remember how mad I was when I had to buy a 3rd torque wrench just to set the compensatory nut on the primary shaft in H-D's (always Snap-on not cheap as you know) when I first started wrenching proffesionally in the 90's. (Already bought 200 in lb and a 75 ft lb at the time)

It wasn't until I started rebuilding cranks and then when Harley came out with the 1" axles that I felt I got my monies worth as I could use it for more than one job.

But now that I'm older I wouldn't hesitate to buy this if I felt I would hear an audible difference.
