Suspension work. You think line mechanics use a TW? On AL components they might. My normal TW is the size of the wrench, not the ratchet as it's the same length for all the sockets. Wrenches get longer as they get larger. After about 3/4" I just pull the box end until it takes more than one hand and stop there.
Nothing has fallen off yet. I wrenched regularly on bikes and go karts starting at age 13. Didn't know a TW from a yard stick. Nothing fell off.

It isn’t about things falling off, any ape can over tighten a fastener. It’s about proper torque and not over tightening things.
