Jim,

Most reports on these tools are disappointing.  I have had similar
experiences with slipping.

The only one that has had rave reviews was made by Snap-On.  They are
sold by independent Snap-On traveling van dealers to mechanics and body
shops, and visit them regularly.  They are NOT cheap, but they have
always had an excellent reputation.  I have one of their click torque
wrenches for over 20 years, and a set of Whitworth wrenches for even
longer, (haven't had much use, lately).

Ask your local mech. when they visit and meet them with your tubing.
They'll demo the tool for you.

Steve
