I use Craftsman beam type torque wrenches.I've yet to pull the threads out of any hole I've put a bolt into,aluminum included.
To remain accurate the click type wrenches must be calibrated every year or as soon as it's dropped onto the floor.Calibrating a beam wrench is as easy as bending the pointer arm to zero before it's used.
