Old school torque wrenches versus the new digital ones...
I fought against digital torque wrenches for years, but after using a Snap-on TechAngle on a 737 flap actuator, I'm done with click types. The angle measurement is just more sure, and you can't argue with the hard data. Anyone else made the switch and had a job go smoother because of it?

My dad's old clicker wrench was off by 15 foot-pounds last time I checked it. That's a scary thought on suspension bolts. I see this everywhere now, people trusting a feeling over a real number. Like @tylerg30 said, the hard data just ends the argument. It's the same with digital tire gauges or even checking the oil. The old way feels right until you see the proof you were wrong.
