DO NOT ESTIMATE!!! Torque specs are real - invest in the wrench - save your engine....

its a one time buy tool as long as you take care of it... its not a double use tool.... cant use it as a pry bar or hammer.... and yes every so often you have to get it caliberated.... try places like napa or other common auto part stores... you might be able to rent one....
