    Am I strong or does it not take as much force as I think to tighten a bolt to say 70 ft lbs? Or does that not sound right and my torque wrench is messed up? I don’t use it often

    Try tightening to 70lbs just using your fingers to turn the bolt/nut.

    It seems easy because of mechanical advantage.
