Help, I need to buy a torque wrench
for a refence i work on helicopters for a living so we torque a sh*t load of things
the click ones are considered more accurate b/c the digital ones buzz/vibrate at torque while the old style one break away. people tend to over torque a lot with digital ones
old dial ones are kind of in the same boat.
also are rule is if you drop the old style one it needs to be calibrated again but a digital one doesn't.
and we have them calibrated yearly as it is
price wise. $80 seems reasonable just make sure the range is what your looking for and a general rule is the top of the range and bottom of the range are unusable by the % of accuracy
