May the clamp force be with you
“Lubricated threads”... It's always an interesting, even passionate, argument that certainly has a place alongside torque settings.
I don't very often assemble my junk dry. I'll most often anti-sieze, machine oil, grease, lock-tite, weatherstrip cement, safety-wire, stake… Usually some method other than dry.
I also run with scissors..
Google “reduce torque coated threads” to suck a few hours out of your day… The science of nuts and bolts is fascinating.
I am not a lug-nut scientist, just a hillbilly who has cared for many lug-nuts.
