Actually they're pretty effective and absorbing/dissipating kinetic energy. I 
think you may have meant "less forgiving" or "gentler".  ;v)=

They seem to do so. Most people don't own a torque wrench nor even know for 
what use it is intended. I do know that my local Snap On and Mac Tools dealers 
have testers that one can use to check the accuracy of a suspect torque 
wrench.

  finish cooling.
