Because the torque spec for plugs is between 18 to 25 lb.-ft. Most click-type 3/8-drive torque wrenches have a range of 15 to 100 lb.-ft. but they are inaccurate at lower torque settings. Click-types are the most accurate in the middle of their torque range. 3/8-drive beam torque wrench is accurate all the way down to 0 lb.-ft. Beam type wrenches have no mechanism to go out of calibration.
3/8 and 1/2-drive click-type wrenches are cool and all, but inaccurate for torquing at low settings. I use a 1/2-drive torque wrench for wheel bolts mostly and big bolts like subframe, hub nuts, etc. Spark plugs you should use a beam style.
