Nearly everybody who is doing important work with threaded fasteners uses a torque wrench, based on known tribological conditions to convert the desired tension into a torque to be applied. The only exceptions are the people doing more direct tension measurement by observing strain. Nobody who knows anything thinks that they can apply torque by feel more repeatably than even a cheap torque wrench.
