Hi Rhys,

Interesting advice on releasing the spring -- I've heard it said before as well, but never did it. I do recall there's a lot of work associated with that on my particular wrench -- way more than the convenience of having a ready-set-go torquer.

How about those torque sticks for the rattle gun? Worth trying? I could use it and then check results with a trusted beam wrench to gain confidence, although I wonder if I'm getting familiar enough with my air wrench to get decent results by feel, sound, and watching sixth-turns without buying a lug-nut torque stick.
