What’s a good torque wrench to get?
I want to replace the spark plugs in my car and I’m apparently going to have to torque them to 30Nm. #diy #tools

I’m a novice mechanic and I never had any issue with click torque wrenches.
Admittedly, I have a science degree and I have a great deal of experience with measurement equipment, vernier scales, etc. But I don’t think the setting on a click wrench is very challenging, even for a novice. Just watch a couple YT videos.
If you’re familiar with mic adjustments, you’re golden. The problem shows up when someone isn’t familiar and is operating at the low end of the adjustment range. You can accidentally end up below the threshold where it makes an audible click. If you don’t have a frame of reference what 30Nm should feel like, you don’t realize somethings wrong until you’ve cranked down way too hard. Beam wrenches are simpler (and quicker).
