Split-beam technology is fairly new and mainly a combo of beam and clicker
types. See http://tinyurl.com/2l39p8 for more info.
I'm getting the idea that my $10 1/2" HF torque wrench that could be
off by as
much as 10% would be ok? Even if I torque it to 30 or 40 Foot/Lbs (instead of
exactly 35) it's ok, as long as it is the same value at each bolt. Is
that the
general idea? I have taken care of this wrench properly, leaving it in it's
cheap plastic case and setting the torque back to zero each time, yada, yada,
yada...
