Twice now, I have snapped bolts when my torque wrench didn't "click" at the set weight. This is with two different torque wrenches. (I suppose I could have made a mistake in the setting, but I don't think so.) Anybody every have this happen to them?

I no longer trust that type of torque wrench! I am going to go back to the old style with the needle. At least with it you can see where you are in a continuum on the torque scale.

What's annoying is in both these cases I could have just gone by feel and been just fine.
