What widget exists? What are you referring to here? Your posts are like riddles sometimes.

Was just required in the 2017 NEC

110.14 (D)


(D) Installation. Where a tightening torque is indicated as a
numeric value on equipment or in installation instructions
provided by the manufacturer, a calibrated torque tool shall be
used to achieve the indicated torque value, unless the equipment
manufacturer has provided installation instructions for
an alternative method of achieving the required torque.
