Rule of thumb is - use the right size tool for the job. Don't put a two foot breaker bar on a 3/8' bolt. Generally, using a standard box end wrench, you shouldn't tighten so much that you are straining yourself. The longer the wrench. the more torque you will apply with the same amount of force. That's why wrench sets have different lengths according to size. If in doubt, you can find a standard torque chart for common size fasteners in just about any repair manual. As you gain experience, you'll be able to use the ol' elbow torque wrench. My joints pop at about 50 ft/lbs. ha ha Hope this helps.
