Pick the right wrench
Use a wrench whose working range covers your spec; avoid using near min/max limits.
Set and tighten
Dial the torque, seat the tool, and pull steadily until it clicks; don't jerk or keep pulling.
Avoid over-travel
Stop at the click to avoid over-torquing or damaging the wrench.
Store correctly
Reset click-style wrenches to low setting after use and store in a dry place.
