Reason I am asking I made that mistake once, when I was more novice with the tools and the torque specs and how they feel on tightness.

Or it was given Newton/meters and your torque wrench is only lbs/foot?
Good question but no... I used it right. I tried it afterward on my wheels at 88 ft/lb. It's just not a good product. Very little indication that the threshold had been reached. I plan on returning it.
