dont know about jet liners

I don’t know about jet liners the biggest plane I ever worked on was a Lear jet got to fly it for a minute too what a blast. But in a general aviation shop be it light planes or helicopters you would be reprimanded or even fired for using a click type torque wrench. And I know since at least 1996 major automakers have been moving away from the click type wrench Saturn strongly advises against there use. The click type torque wrench is wildly inaccurate and does not even really measure torque as in clamping pressure but is much more likely to measure friction between fasteners. Why are we evan talking about somthing as outdated as tourque wrenchs when we should be using degrees of rotation
