I too have four torque wrenches, I even use the 1/4” drive version to tighten the head accurately on my banjos!

However, I used the 3/8” drive version when tightening the head down before Moreton and at 30 ft ills, one of the nuts “went soft” so I imagine I have stripped a stud or a nut...I’ve left it until next time I whip the head off and I’ll go for 25 ft lbs next time.
