I do everything under ~30 lbs. by feel. With a 3/8 ratchet on your most common Volvo fasteners ~30 lbs. is cranking it about as hard as you can. ~10 lbs. is just snug plus another 20-30 degrees or so. Everything in between is in between those two feels. What can I say--I learned from old timers!

Best,
