Torque wrench question

Post by genesis92 »

Hello. If you torque a nut to a certain setting, if you are unsure whether the wrench "clicked" or if you want to be doubly sure can you re tighten the nut on the same setting or will it give an inaccurate torque the second time?
If you see what I mean.....

Good question.

I always click it again if I'm unsure about the first try. The bolts never move much (if at all) after the first go, so I'm not too worried.
