For those of you that use torque wrenches extensively, which do you prefer?
Short handled or long handled torque wrenches? I'm thinking a shorty because of the tight
quarters, but don't want to miss any of the leverage of a long handled wrench if it's significant.
That smaller torque wrench is probably only good for around 24Nm, you'll need a long handled one for larger torques.
