    No, just tighten it until it snaps then back off half a turn

    This video will help you understand what's going on within your torque wrench. You're basically overcoming the force of a spring. To make sure you don't wear the spring out prematurely, don't leave it compressed- back the torque down to it's lowest mark before storing it until next use.

    No, just use an air impact gun on everything. Good luck with that.
