Torque wrench

Hey everyone,

I was looking to buy a torch wrench in order to take better care of my wheels and brake rotors...

I have/heard of 3 types...

1. Dial gauge type, you tighten until the needle points to the torque you want.

2. Click type, you count the number of clicks until you get the right torque.

3. Set it and tighten it type, the one where you set a number at the end of the handle and then use on bolt, it stops you automatically and will not let you tighten any futher....

P.S. LOL How do you use a torque wrench? Do you hand tighten until bolt reaches surface and then use torque wrench or what?

Thanks for the help.
