A veteran tech in Phoenix watched me torque a crank bolt and just shook his head

He said 'Kid, you're trusting the click over your arm. Feel it.' I've used a beam-type torque wrench for crank jobs ever since. Anyone else get that kind of old-school advice that stuck with you?

Honestly that sounds a bit over the top. A good click wrench is plenty accurate if you calibrate it. The old guy was probably just being dramatic.

Wait, you were using a click wrench on a crank bolt?
