um....

torque is a force x distance quantity.. not an angular quantity

so it's either ft.lb or N.mm

you can check the accuracy if you have a friend with a good/similar torque wrench. get them to do up one of your wheel nuts to a particular spec, then on the same setting see if yours clicks without turning the nut. then do vice versa, do up the nut to the same spec with yours and see if his clicks.
