[Vintage-race] Torque wrench recommendations?

[Scott Cypher]

All I can say you can/have to calibrate zero torque on it.

So it should be more consistent than my clicker torque wrench.   
Unless you have a set of standard torques to calibrate to, you are  
always at risk of being "wrong".  So I'm only as good as the design,  
which I will assume is more accurate and consistent than my "clicker"  
wrench.

So if it was designed correctly, and you zero it out, it should be  
accurate (given the user's technique).

I zero out my electronic calipers, but they may be innacurate as  
well.  But at least I no longer strip those little tiny gears on my  
old dial calipers...

Thanks

Is there any reason to think that electronic can not be wrong?  Just
