Wow, do you know how easy it is to over torque a lug nut with those devices!!! :S
Maybe you can over-torque a bolt with a 4-way or the jack handle that comes with the vehicle, but I'm sure I would hurt myself trying.

Not unless you are truly feeble. I doubt most trailers need more than 75 lb-ft, small ones might need even less. (I've seen cars that called for 50!)
