Go check something where torque is real important, like aircraft repair. There a torque wrench is required to be calibrated every so often, like rapid temp changes, 90 days or if the wrench is dropped. When was the last time any of us had ours calibrated? So basically we are getting even torque rather than accurate.

I use a Snap On 3/8 drive one. If it has to be tighter than the 200 lbs rating I use my German one........goodantight!

I cannot recall how many engines my dad rebuilt through the years and he NEVER used or owned a torque wrench. And he never had a problem except once and that didn't have anything to do with torque, he broke a ring installing a piston.
