When using a beam style torque wrench, it can sometimes be difficult to tell exactly where you are on your torque numbers if, especially when you get up to the higher numbers and you're using a lot of strength to just get that torque there. Way I found, uh you know, give me a quick indication that I'm up to torque is I take a piece of tape, I put it on the wrench at the exact indication of where I need to be my torque. Now, I can quickly see when my lever comes over and uh I'm at torque.
