The ones I have click in both directions, necessary for pedals and most bottom bracket installations; not all do.
I try not to use any of them on the lower 20% or so of their full-scale range as accuracy suffers there.
Keep in mind that bike component torque specs are often +/-10% or even 20% so extreme accuracy is not required. We are not building jet engines or spacecraft.
