Default If the wrench is rated for up to 150 ft/lbs, and "breaking" the bolts only requires 130 ft/lb.......

then what is the problem?

Default No guarantee you will only need that much torque to crack the bolts

It's possible you'll need more in some cases. You shouldn't, but if a lug seizes or something like that...

Plus, every single use of a torque wrench moves it further out of calibration, a minute amount for sure, but it's still affecting it. The more you use it, and the more torque you put on it per use, the quicker it will lose calibration.
