It has been the common recommendation to return a snap style torque wrench to its lowest setting after usage. The often given reason is that the spring, if left compressed, will weaken.
I have always questioned the reason (not the practice). Will the spring weaken (creep) under sustained loading?
ps Hope this is a valid spring question!
