Called out for cross-threading lug nuts, now I cant decide if torque sticks are worth it

My buddy watched me zip wheels on with an impact and said I was gonna snap a stud, so I switched to a torque wrench and found I had been over-torquing by like 30 ft-lbs. But now it takes twice as long for every tire rotation, so is the safety gain really worth the extra 15 minutes per car?

Man, 15 minutes beats buying new studs and rotors every season.
