Have you ever seen anyone work on your car check lug nut torque? The
only thing I have ever seen is an air impact wrench blasting them
tight.

I use an impact wrench and recheck with a tire wrench. I have a torque
wrench but it's not that critical. Mine never come off. Too loose they
come off, too tight and you break off the stud, it's not rocket science.

Hi,
Or you can warp the disc brake rotor hub. I use impact wrency since I
have compressor in the garage but I check with torque wrench.

You cannot check torque on a nut that is already tightened to it's
torque spec. You must use the torque wrench to tighten "up to" torque.
