Just had some character do a wheel bearing repack (another story)...he reinstalled the lug nuts, grossly over torque specs, breaking the caps off four of the lug nuts...after waiting about 8 1/2 hours for the job to be done I was just too tired to do my usual inspection of the job.

Always always insist on a torque wrench. No torque sticks or air tools for installation.
