in the race shop we use a beam type torque wrench like in your picture from sears that is called, to check the click type torque wrenches ( ratchet type )

they take longer in a production shop to do the same job as a click type torque wrench but we think they are more accurate ( beam type ) like pictured

if you cant find the right torque for a bolt or bolts read the the torque when removing the bolts, it will always be around 5 pounds short of the install torque on anything smaller than 3/8 inch or 8 mm bolts the larger stuff will almost always have a torque IE head bolts, main caps, A frame to chassis -- jz
