Here's something I learned while researching for a new torque wrench. Click-type torque wrenches are inaccurate at the extremes, particularly at the low end, on the order of 20% of the range. So for example, if the range is 25-250ft/lb, take 20% of the difference (225). Your wrench is accurate starting at 45 ft/lb. This is why you need 2 torque wrenches, one for light stuff and one for higher torque values.
