I'm picking up a torque wrench today since I have been taking off my wheel a lot lately.

The digital ones don't make a click noise. The digital ones vibrate and beeps when it gets to that torque spec.

I'm a little late to this but, doesn't the warping of the rotors generally occur when the lugs are torqued down unevenly, and not nessacarly from the torque it self?

That too... However, that would cause the bolts to break off the hub. That happened to me before in the Dominican Republic.
