I think I have a good feel for when a bolt is done up tightly enough and I would (and have done) be happy enough to tighten caliper bolts without the aid of a torque wrench. I wouldn't, however, trust myself to tighten the bolts holding the cylinder heads on - not because I couldn't do them up tight enough, but I couldn't guarantee they would all be torqued to the same degree.
