I just assumed click-type as that is what more people use now days. You are correct in that a manual torque wrench is very accurate, but you still have differences between the cheap and expensive ones. The aircraft industry (at least the bigger manufacturers) use different kinds and usually have torque testing machines on hand to regularly test their torque wrenches. Us mechanics just usually send them off once a year to get re-calibrated.
