Can you tell us plebes why not? Am guessing it messes up the quality of torque delivery when putting a bolt on?

Also, the function of a torque wrench isn't to apply a lot of a torque with less effort - that's the function of a torque multiplier.

A torque wrench is intended to apply a specific amount of torque to fasteners. Engineers and mechanics have specific torque values for threaded fasteners based on things like material, thread type, load types, and application, and a torque wrench is what we use to make sure that we hit those targets.

my favorite tool i owned is an electric hand screwdriver/torque wrench. It has a little knob that makes it cam out when it reaches [x] torque. AND I LOST IT

i was doing some unlicensed electric for a festival that helps out a charity so i don't really mind if they stole it, but c'mon dudes, that was my favorite tool.

Specifically, for adjusting tension on machinery designed to make big heavy things stop easily and smoothly, you really wanna be sure you have the torque correct. Those kinds of expensive mistakes.
