I grew up doing without. Never an issue.. but I agree... No need to be stupid tight or it's gonna break!
I had a job in the summers at a mechanic shop that only dealt with foreign cars. they had specific tools that don't work on any car but a Mercedes/audi/bmw etc.

great learning experience. btw the advance auto nearby has a lug nut. I also bought a torque wrench and a 22mm on amazon. all in about $50. kinda dumb, I left $2,000 of tools left at home 3 years ago with my dad after my ex wife left me and I moved to FL

btw if anyone wants the best car detailing products ever, pm me. I live in a condo. I'll only own one. I can have my dad send my porter cable for free as well
