     * As you pull tighter, you will notice the handle bend slightly. \\ This calibrated bending is the result of applied torque. Watch the end of the needle located just above the handle. \\ As the beam bends, the needle points to the amount of torque being applied.     * As you pull tighter, you will notice the handle bend slightly. \\ This calibrated bending is the result of applied torque.

 +    * Continue to turn the fastener, and allow the handle to rotate so that the pivot is the only thing contacting the beam. \\ Some handles have a pivot piece that you actually are holding. \\ Arrange it so the handle '​floats'​ with you instead of cocking sideways against the bending beam.
     * Keep your eyes looking straight at the center bar end and the torque scale. \\ It's hard to impossible to judge when the pointer is on the right value looking from the side.     * Keep your eyes looking straight at the center bar end and the torque scale. \\ It's hard to impossible to judge when the pointer is on the right value looking from the side.
