They're not junk. the newer style clicker types have a better resolution because you can dial in a value (example 125) where as on a beam type you might have to check the reading at between 120 and 130 on the needle.
Still well within 5%...maybe that's why alot of them are still floating around in old Wrencher's tool boxes.
Torque wrenches are not accurate unless you can afford some of the 1% or 2% accuracy snap-ons at about $350 and up each (personally, I could buy alot of beer and cigars for that).
