I am not sure but I think 10 nm newton meters is five kilo force on the end of a twenty cm long wrench , or mid handle on a twenty five cm long wrench ,five kilos could be easy hand tight, not very hard at least.

25 nm newton meters, that is about twelve kilos on a twenty cm wrench, fifty nm is twenty five kg on a twenty cm wrench, .that is medium force maybe from a hand and shoulder.

fifty nm is five kg on one meter wrench, ten nm is one kg on one meter long wrench or bar or stick,that is rather hard tightening .

one newton is hundred grams or so, ten newton is one kg circa,

I may be wrong , im not good in math and memory.

Torque is not the type of bolt but a type of wrench used to tighten bolts. A torque wrench will tell you how tight a bolt is tightened like 60lb of torque or tighten to 80lb of torque so a bolt will be tight enough to stay in but not too tight that you strip the bolt.

Snug tight for direct tension indicators means tight but not binding. It would be like tightening something with the hand as much as a person can without a wrench.
