Dunno if Snap On brand is a regular on the continent or in Brexitland, but I bought a secondhand, freshly re-calibrated click type from a travelling dealer whilst gainfully employed at a BMW/VW/Subie/FIAT shop back in 1982, had it calibrated a dozen years later, then again a coupla years back. Except for a spring trying to make an escape from the ratcheting portion of the show, it has been a good'un. 13Nm to 136Nm (about 10 ft/lbs to 100 ft/lbs) is the range it lives and works in. For the closer details I use a finely tuned wrist, which has been attached to my arm for three score and one year, and a 1/4" ratchet. It would be interesting, to me at least, how far off I am in my guestimatage.

1977. It was a very good year. Somewhere.
