Oh my! Now you tell me! 
The only reason I used the bigger one was that the 36mm 6pt socket was half inch so I used the same torque wrench for the oil-filter cap as for the oil-pan bolt.
What do you think of these torque wrenches, in terms of accuracy?
Since I have more than one torque wrench, do you think I can test them against each other by putting one on each end of a single two-headed bolt made up by joining two large bolts tail to tail?
