Common sense and feel works great until whatever it was you installed heat cycles, and then your uneven torque causes seal creep or component distortion.
%5 torque variance isn't a bad number. You won't ever be able to hit an exact number for various reasons.
That doesn't mean I torque everything, either. ?
I think my wrenches are all 3 rebrands of Precision Tools.
I understand the good reviews from sears, but are those reviews from hardcore users or from home consumers?
In our shop, we've all been slowly migrating to the digital wrenches. Our guy that comes and does our mandatory calibrations claims he almost never has to correct them.
I personally don't like micrometer type wrenches. I prefer the style with the small dial face and side knob.
