Thread: Continuously variable torque wrench

What are the differences between torque wrenches which click off (torque limiter) and one that show the applied torque on a scale ?

Do they give equivalent readings ?
Are there any tricks or requirements to using them ?

I've just bought a "Fix It Sticks" set.
You carefully line your eye up for the zero measurement then turn it until the indicator line shows the torque you want on the scale.
I found it gives a nicer more natural feel as you turn the screw and I can see the screw turning a little as it tightens, which I can't with my Wheeler F.A.T. wrench.
