I have a full craftsman set that I struggle to believe these days. 
I just put cvs on and I know that with my craftsman torque wrench set to the desired torque, it will never click. You'll snap the bolt head off before it does. 
Beam type says it's properly torqued. 

I know I can get them set, but it's not necessarily even off....just sucks. 
I prefer the beam type for all 3/8" drive items now.
