which one is "compact " ?

None that I have.  Even the 3/8 clicker's pretty long.

I think they do that for accuracy...  well, and bragging rights.

This is the compact I keep in MY glove box...

I've got one exactly like the one on top

looking to upgrade 

thanks

The thing about Torque Wrenches is that you have different horses for different courses. You say "upgrade" from the top one, but that would be the implement of choice were you to measure drag, such as in a differential.

 

Not being one to miss an opportunity, however tenuous, to display a photo, here's my collection. The bottom two are by Britool and are my prefered weapons of choice as they have plenty of feel and make a really load CLACK which is good in a work shop with plenty of other noise going on.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation.

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
