so what happens when you torque something down and it reaches its torque limit it starts clicking?

[donyboy73]

@chamblizi itwill click at the desired torque point

[chamblizi]

@donyboy73 OK CLICK AS IN LIGHT CLICK OR ? unoticable click

[donyboy73]

@chamblizi you will feel and hear a light click

you forgot to mention it's important to turn the setting back to the lowest point if you are done with the wrench.

If you leave it at a high setting for a long period of time, the wrench will lose its accuracy completely. In extreme cases, a deviation of up to 30% is possible!

Wrong, fellow grease monkey. WD-40 is not for everything, it is for de-rusting, loosening things out.

@chamblizi Yes, it clicks when you reach the torque spec, letting you know not to tighten anymore.
