You are correct and they don't care if you pay twice down the road should your engine fail.Hate to say it but most real professionals don't use torque wrenches.

I had to learn the hard way about foot pounds and inch pounds.
Another lesson was about using an extension calculator.
Who knew that adding a 7" extension to my torque wrench changed things enough to mess things up.

I would place $100.00 on a table to match your bet that is to say you cannot come within +- 2% any three times out of three to 90 foot pounds you pick the weight, that my torque wrench can.Agreed. I hate to say it, but I can "feel" when it's just enough. When I can't, I use an ATD 1/2" drive torque wrench. Since I'm on the management end of my shop (Service Manager) I don't send it out often for calibration.
A Snap-on Air craft wrench comes in a GOLD Box and an automotive wrench comes in a Red Box. At least they did back when I was using them.+1 for Snap-On precision instrument series torque wrench's! By once,cry once! They make the best there is, hands down!!!! Ever work on Jet engines? That's the only brand allowed in ALL U.S. branches of the Military for aircraft use! I bought mine for the automotive building I do, and I can tell you the cost is more then offset by the quality and consistency each and every time! NOTE Proper care must be taken each and every time you use one, they must be set back to Zero immediately after use!!!! If you do not, you will ruin an expensive tool, and it cost almost as much to repair and re-calibrate one as it does to replace it! I have both 3/8 and 1/2 in Wrench's, as well as 1/4 in screw driver type. I also have the 3/8 digital for torque to yield and torque angle. I also use a torque multiplier for my truck work! If you actually need a torque instrument, do not skimp, you will regret it!
