I keep seeing people skip the final torque check on their builds

After my deck rail wobbled loose, I found the lag bolts were 20 ft-lbs under spec. What's a good reminder system you use to not rush the last step?

Seriously, I just write "TORQUE" on my hand with a sharpie.

Hah, that's a whole mood honestly. I've seen so many people lately writing weird one-word reminders on their hands or arms. Saw a guy at the store with "BREAD" on his knuckles and my neighbor had "CAT" on her wrist. It's like we're all just trying to hold one thought at a time now.
