Dok,

Can you give me an explanation as to why a clicker is not accurate enough. You mention the long studs, so I assume that some how affects the clicker wrench. If a clicker wrench is calibrated correctly, why wouldn't it click at the proper torque? The torque reading on a beam wrench can change just by moving your head a little.
