I used to tighten “darn snug” with a half inch drive ratchet. I’m no 300 lb gorilla, so thought it fine. Subsequently, I started using a 3/8” beam type torque wrench calibrated to inch/lbs. I was quite surprised how much extra torque it took to get the darn snug bolts up to 250 inch/lbs. that wrench is maybe 18” long so has a longer lever. Either way, I stop at 250 as it seems plenty. This would seem to match what others do by feel.
