As you pointed out, the bending beam is for smaller bolts needing less torque.
Is that why it bounces and jerks? If I recall the poundage rating was quite high.
Sorry my friend. I don't know enough about this stuff to give you a good answer. I have one of those as well but use it for lighter torques and even then not very often. I wonder if the rating your looking at is in inch pounds and not foot pounds. Mine is. The big click wrench is in foot pounds. I couldn't imagine trying to get 140 foot pounds on the beam type smaller wrench that I have. I don't have the power in my arms for that. maybe Angela but not me. :)
