Swapped standard torque wrenches for a click-type on hydraulic line jobs and it saved my butt

Honestly, I was using beam-style wrenches for 5 years until I over-torqued a B-nut on a 737 hydraulic line last month. Switched to a snap-on click-type and the difference in accuracy is night and day. Has anyone else had issues with beam-style slipping on high-pressure lines?

Watching your hand pressure with click-types helps catch tired arms after long shifts.

Yeah I read that click-types don't drift like beams do under heat.

Bet that's a huge plus for people who shoot in the heat.
