I bought this 50 dollar torque wrench at Auto zone and set it to 90lb and the wrench broke...
Take it back and ask for a refund. They are crap. They rent them also for free. I have broken 3 TQ wrenches from Autozone in the last year. You should be torquing your nuts to 150lbs.

Yes and no. You pass out at about 25 lb-ft so technically you won't even feel 150.
