I was dead set against those digital torque wrenches for years

I told my buddy Dave at the hangar in Anchorage that I'd never trust a battery powered torque wrench after my old Snap-on analog one never let me down. Then I had to do a job on a 737 flap track and the old wrench just wouldnt get the right angle, so I borrowed his digital CDI and it saved my butt. Has anyone else had a tool they hated turn out to be a lifesaver on a specific job?

Ngl, I was the exact same way until my digital one saved me on a tight engine mount bolt.

Which brand you got? I don't trust the cheap knockoffs from Amazon on stuff like that, but the higher end ones seem like they actually work when it counts. Been debating grabbing one for my next project but the price has me hesitating.

CDI is the way, that's what my buddy had too. Even the gearwrench ones are solid if you don't want to drop Snap-on money.
