- It's just a bit more insurance against the potential of one coming loose. I've not had one come off when used, but then I've not lost one when I failed to use it either. Let's see what others say. W

- I was taught use it, but very carefully for possibility getting a false torque reading. My mentor was real big on gradual torquing (5 or 10 lb increments), so you better not let it set at all! I was
