Some type of lube is required. You can't get a good torque reading (or 'feel') with dry threads. The friction requires additional pressure to overcome. I've used Nevr-Seize, wheel bearing grease, LSA, and presently am using white lithium based grease.

I stopped using Nevr-Seez (on firearms) because it is too messy. Seems like you can never clean up the excess.
