The good old bending beam torque wrench does not go out of calibration or adjustment unless you bent it or really did something terrible. If it reads zero and is all straight, use it as a standard for your clicker type wrenches, which are far more convenient to use. couple the two together with a coupling nut or a piece of hex stock and see on the beam wrench where the clicker - "clicks". use a small allen wrench to adjust the clicker through the side hole in the body of the wrench. Easy to do and will give you confidence in your clicker wrenches.
I still have my old beam wrench just for checking the newer ones. It is a lot easier than rigging up weights, scales strings or ropes etc
My opinion
