Wondering if anyone has a torque wrench that torques both right and left handed threads in the one tool?.

This is mine, more than one way to skin a cat as Steve's sounds different, you just have to keep it 90° to the wrench shaft, gives you the same torque as the setting, have seen them made out of flat bar as well.

Most torque wrenches other than beam type allow reversing .

I found that clip interesting. I've been tightening nuts and bolts for more years than I care to remember and it was only about five years ago that I learned that if you put neversieze or similar on the thread, you pretty much double the actual clamping force (tension) on the bolt for the same amount of torque applied to the bolt.

I understand the concept - but how easy is this jigger to use? No dramas keeping it square on the bolt head/nut at higher torque settings?
