Ok now I understand what you did. Very rational to think it might move a lil, well thought.

Great, so this means what I have said is moot. Given my example, even if the torque tool is missing 1lb, it will still be 1lb in the end even if you troque it twice, since you said it measures each times independently.

If/when I do this, I might have more questions to ask but that is all for now. Thanks for putting this up man.
