Is it critically important and is 56nm the torque of the bolt.........
Cause either my torque wrench is fugged, or the torques different cause theres no click happening at 56nm
The bolt is as TIGHT as it can go

If you bought the cheapo Supertools one, be aware the Kincrome (looks the same) is a better wrench but costs more $$. Inside head is better made. So said the sales rep...

No i bought a Toolex one from Gasweld........ Not to good though......i might buy a Repco one. Made by Stanley(who make Sidchrome) so apparently they're not to bad at all. More $$ though

Using torque wrenches for damn near every screw and bolt we do up, I've found that the Warren & Brown ones are the best over the long run. We have Snap-on break-action torque wrenches and are forever getting them recalibrated, coz people forget to wind the torque back off when it's not being used, screwing the spring inside. Just for your info, torque wrenches should not be trusted in the upper or lower 20%. Could be part of your problem there. |

ummm, yeah they do cost a few pennies. I wouldnt expect Snap-on to be any bloody cheaper though LOL. Its a car, so a calibrated wrist is about good for everything. |

Hmm the Warren and Brown ones dont work like a conventional wrench though do they......... Gasweld sell them too( and i can get through work), so maybe i can get one rather cheaply:D |

Original Warren & Brown are good- I've got a baby one for auto tranny work etc. But they also now sell similar ones to the Supertools/Kinchrome/etc with the spring inside- I bought one for work last year as I needed a LH one (really). Nice, calibration cert etc, but not worth $400 odd, I reckon... 
Looked just like my $69 Kinchrome..

pffft, I dont pay for my tools. If it breaks they just buy another one 
And yes, we have to do L/H torques as well. That's why ya can turn the Square drive to the other side of the torque wrench
