Sound engineering practice dictates that a nut should be tightened onto a thread with one and a half threads exposed out of the end. Naturally sensible torque exersion is expected. (Does anyone remember the stubby spanners produced by Rolls Royce for over exuberant aircraft mechanics during the war?) Remember that the sound of creaking when (over) tightening is the threads stretching!
