A couple of years ago I went manic and bought a number of Snap-On dial torque wrenches in various sizes. They work in a manner that is repeatable. You twist a steel torsion member and an arm moves a dial indicator. Nothing to change.
Two things I don't like them for:
1. Quick work. They can't be rushed. Plus no ratchet.
2. Odd places or work arrangements. They require one to be able to spot the dial from the top and are kind of bulky.

For those jobs I use my trusty Montgomery Ward click type.

The beam type is very accurate if it is built correctly.
