I try to use lock-nuts in place of nuts that I have found were loose, and I add thread-locker before tightening loose bolts.
Given the amount of 'stuff' with nuts and bolts that I have collected over the years, I could spend most of my life just looking up torque values and re-torqueing nuts and bolts, "in accordance with manufacturer's recommended service intervals".
PS I'm the same guy that skipped reading the two pages of safety warnings on wife's new vacuum cleaner, but please don't tell anyone. Especially the guy with the antlers!
