light torque and click type wrenches are incompatible!

When torque wrenches of the breaking type are used in about the bottom 15-20% of their range, they will actually loosen the fastener when they break the error can be upwards of 20%. Use of the dial type is best (torque-o-meter). The second best is probably the beam type. torque specs are given for two primary reasons.
1.To ensure even pressure on panels that can warp.
2. To prevent over-tightening of fasteners.

people over tighten fasteners 100 times for every 1 time they are not tight enough!
