I watched the first 30 seconds or so, enough to see who it was and that he was
talking about GDI.
Scotty's an idiot, but yes, GDI engines tend to put fuel in the sump instead of
blowing it out the exhaust like port injected engines can do. I think it
involves the spray from the injectors

You might also want to check out some other options.
I have some of the cheap click style wrenches that I have acquired over
the years.
I also have a 1/2 and a 3/8 inch drive click style that came from one of
our local auto parts stores on a good sale that certainly appear to have
much better
The number of negative reviews on that item would have me running away. You can
"certify" your torque wrenches by hanging a known weight a known distance from
the fulcrum of the wrench. And yes, as others have said; lug torque does not
need to be exact.

Hmm, this looks interesting, I might give it a try, if only as a test
instrument for torque wrenches.
They claim 2% accuracy.
(If it tracks with my quality bending beam wrench and most of my micrometer
wrenches, then any micrometer wrench it doesn't match is the problem)
Can you read the engraved numbers on a micrometer style torque wrench?
I do my lugs with this:

Or they have a more expensive one, you could buy it with a 25% coupon:
I have an '04 Element, basically the same platform as the CRV. No major
issues so far (knock on wood), other than it had a pretty bad negative

adjustable rear upper control arms are available aftermarket and fixed
the problem.
Looking for a recommendation. Don’t want to break the bank with a Hazet, but
would like something that can handle at least 100 foot pounds for tightening
lug bolts/nuts.

The more wear they get on them, the more the leading shoe can cam into the drum
and grab.
Also, speaking of GM,
Agreed.
However, the W111 rear drums, when the wheel cylinder leaks, do get on the
inside of the drum and eventually spread around on the shoes. This might have
been due to the size of the leak - I would get a good tablespoon of brake fluid
(or more) when the car sat overnight. I found this
