Just wondering. I know you are supposed to wind down a torque wrench for storage , down to its lowest setting .
I of course have good wrenches for motor work etc, but also have wrenches that I basically only use to torque wheels, and maybe steering knuckles .
I use it constantly, it probably torques 100 fasteners a day . I find my self constantly winding it up and down.
Most everything I torque is right in the range of 85-110. My older one just failed, not the head, but the mechanism that sets the torque . I think it just wore out, from being turned up and down 10 times a day , 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year etc....
I think I am just going to leave my new one set at 100.
The longest it ever sits , is overnight .
