Digital Torque Wrench Knowledge Base
does a digital torque wrench have a spring? I am dealing with digital torque wrenches vs mechanical. I know the mechanical wrenches have a spring and a mechanism such as a ball detent, but do electronic torque wrenches measure run up torque? It doesn't seem as though the snap on 24-240 in/lb breaks away. It seem like it measures run up torque then beeps when you get to the appropriate spot. What does the inside of an electronic torque wrench look like and how does it work? Thank you
What exactly would I be paying for in a $200 dollar torque wrench? I've always tightened my drain bolt by feel, but have now decided to invest in a torque wrench. I would never spend 200 dollars on something like this but is there any reason I should spend more than $30? As I've seen wrenches that appear similar to each other ranging that price gap. I understand some higher end models are digital, but many 200 dollar wrenches seem to be exaclty like the 30 dollar ones except for the "Snap-On" label.
