You've got to crank that style down to 75 inch pounds

You can use a ratchet with the proper bit

Those "ball end"" bits allow you tighten the bolt with the ratchet at an angle (good for clearing over other mechs under the playfield)

Craftsman always has those kits on sale for $20

Quoted from Matthew2015:

thanks for the advise , i do need to get the proper bit for my ratchet which is a 1/8 hex for a 3/8 drive socket.

Don't get that Craftsman set then, as the smaller sizes are 1/4" drive

instead maybe:
