We only used Sanp-On dial torque wrenches when I worked at the shipyard (Norfolk Naval Shipyard), mainly torqueing fasteners for pipe flanges as a pipefitter (both non-nuc and nuc systems). These, like beam types, do not have to be relaxed after use and give you an idea where you are at in the torqueing process. Always use at 1/4 to 7/8 of the scale. A 0-175 ft-lb is currently listed on e-bay for $125. I much prefer the dial type to the clicker type myself, but that's was I basically cut my teeth on.
