Even though I was not enlightened about clickers like I am now, I picked up a technique from a fellow out at the airport that used clickers.

He would always torque things down at about 1/2 value first, then do it again at full torque. Now that I think about it, this technique might give you a warning if a clicker was way out of tolerance,.. like clicking with almost no torque, or the opposite - no click.

Since I still have my Craftsman beam torque wrench I bought many years ago, I think I'll go out to the workshop and do some test torquing -- comparing my two clickers to the beam. Crude, maybe, but it might show if one of the clickers was grossly out of tolerance, anyway.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Only buy wrenches that are 1 foot long, then torque = pounds Cool

of course you'll also need a set 1 inch long. Grin

Naw, just drill a hole through your wrench one inch from the socket and hook your fish scale through that. Then you have both a high and low range tool without spending any more money.

Have you ever tried to drill a hole through a Craftsman or Snap-on wrench? You'll have to buy some extra-special drill bits.

Click on, click off.
