Those are measured in inch pounds, aren't they?
Anyway, by "feel"? Just guessing. I've mentioned my experience in another torque wrench thread, to recap, World Champion Race Team, alternately...

i think it can be worse though, for the inexperienced, because if a bolt is too greasy or too gritty (rusty) then a torque wrench will give false readings... i have broken more bolts WITH a torque...
