Lots of beginners over-tighten seatpost bolts and stem bolts, causing irreparable damage to seatposts and forks. If you use the smallest possible wrenches (for minimal leverage) and tend to under-tighten bolts, then maybe you don't need a torque wrench. If you're ham-fisted with lightweight components, then you do need it.
