Do bi-directionals get more action?

[quote Carm]I had a click torque wrench, but decided it wasnt accurate enough. So I went old school and got a couple of torque wrenches with beams.

Click type torque wrenches are way more accurate than a beam type.

Also, make sure the fastener has been properly lubed.

The key is to screw the tension off after every use. If you leave them tight, they'll wear out. Some can be re calibrated.
