well then.,...........
yes, that makes you very special.
what's the highest reading you've ever gotten it to ?

thanks for including the text that you are referring to.

for esoteric reading on torque wrenches, read what a  modern electronic one
can do.
If I remember correctly on the trade magazine article I just read,
then can read a toque on a bolt without moving the bolt , things like that.
Kinda  fascinating.
