Can you link us a few you would suggest?
If the lower 10% is bad, this is a typical usage scenario a lot of the bolts are in the lower 10% range should we get it tested to see what it really is?
The other type is a beam or pointer style. As you torque the bolt the pointer points to the torque reading:

As to the percentage question i don't really understand your question. If you have a torque wrench that reads from 0 to 100 ft/lbs and most of your bolts need to be torques to say 8 ft/lbs then yes...you are in the lower range for THAT torque wrench. You should get a smaller torque wrench. In that particular case (since you are so low on the scale) you would probably get a torque wrench that reads in inch/lbs. Remember.....12inch/lbs = 1 foot/lb
