I don't understand the concern over re-torquing a fastener. If you have tightened it to, as, 14 lb-in, wouldn't applying 14 lb-in to it again have no affect? It's not like a hammer blow, after all.
If you torque something down, then immediately try torquing it again you will move the lug/bolt more than when you first torqued it, often substantially if the torqued rating is low. Worst case is that you might strip out a lug, nothing worse than trying to loosen a stripped lug.
IMO most all of us, when tightening lugs free hand go far above the specified torque. Try using a torque wrench and I think you will be surprised how quick you here it click.
I'd agree with that. I was torquing down some bussing with a helper a couple weeks ago. He was working with one of our other foremen saying they were using a wrench with a breaker bar. He was shocked with how little pressure was actually needed when you torqued it to manufacture's specs.
