Agree with all of the above, even when they disagree with each other!
Don't like her being in gear while using an impact drill, that could .... .... up! And if way overtightened like they seem to be from the factory, marking the nut and retorquing from there could put you in same spot next time, and .... .... up. A torque wrench is a good, fairly cheap insurance for these girls, esp rear wheel bolts when adjusting chain. If the boss on the swingarm breaks, well, that has ...... .... up! LOL.
 
mostly i just do this with a 75cm lever, hand-tight plus 70-80 degrees.
that's 230Nm or more.
when a new bike arrives, the nut cannot be loosened with this lever and my 80kg! so far on 4 bikes.
then I need a 120 cm lever.
 
That's what I'm thinking, when we do our own bikes, it is easy to undo the nut from last time we used 230nm, or the marks as mentioned by Paul above. When from the factory they've maybe been tightened by Hulk or King Kong!
 
Road bikes that get a wheel changed infrequently seem to seize on for some reason. Critical to lube the threads and the washers with a light oily type grease , 240NM on a torque bar , I wouldnt go <200NM. The grease is critical.
