Bill,
The click type torque wrenches are much easier to use than the beam
type. The beam type has a pointer and a scale and you read the torque on
the pointer. The click type lets you set the torque by turning a collar
or knob on it, and when the specified torque has been reached you will
hear and feel a click. From what I have heard the click type should
always be stored with the torque set to the minimum. You should avoid
using a torque wrench to loosen fasteners.
