In discussing 'clicker' versus beam torque wrenches, it was asked:
> which is more accurate?
A quality Beam
> Durable?
A quality Beam
The clicker style relys on a spring and a metal block held into a
groove by its tension. As the spring ages, the metal wears, or the
grease dries out, the accuracy of the click point shifts. I unfortunately
overtorqued the heads on my Mustang pretty severely 'cause the
clicker on my Craftsman stopped reliably clicking.
