An old head in Anchorage told me my torque wrench technique was all wrong

He said I was rushing the final pull and not letting the wrench settle. Now I always pause for a full two count after the click. Anyone else get called out on something basic that stuck with you?

Honestly used to think the click was all that mattered. Would just yank it and move on. Watched a guy at the track do the pause thing on lug nuts and it clicked for me too. Tbh you can actually feel the difference when you let it settle, like everything seats properly. Changed how I do everything from bike parts to lawnmower blades now.

Nah, I've always just gone by the click and never had an issue.
