Maybe skip the torque wrench for these small nuts. Not many are accurate at such low torque. Tighten by feel - I use 1/4" drive ratchet & very gently. If you strip one, you'll know not to go that tight on the next. Feel is best except for maybe head bolts, connecting rods, etc. Small tool & restraint. Good luck.

Does anyone have any nuts that don't strip at 6 ft-lbs?  It seems that I can 
never torque them to the full 7.5 ft-lbs without them just stripping away.  
That's pretty lame IMO.
