I see this all the time, but using a range for a torque spec always bothers me, since I've also read torque tools have their own accuracy range of 5 to 10%. I ALWAYS shoot for the exact middle of a torque range specification to allow for torque tool tolerance ranges.
Now I'll go and check my wet bolts for 40 ft/lbs or should I just shoot for checking at 50 ft/lbs. Is this about right?
Another example, the lug nuts for my Monty are spec'd at 110 to 120 so I use 115. They have kept at 115 each time I check (about twice a month, since I move about twice a month).
