After that I went to old school beam types that never need calibration, cost less and can be used to measure break-away dissasembly torque (can't do that with a clicker).

Clickers are "sexier" but they must be returned to zero after each use or you can't count on it.

I just bought it yesterday and left it over night (17 hours) set at 140 lbs ... am I screwed?
