Tried a digital torque wrench on harness pins - was wrong about them

I always used a beam style torque wrench for pin contacts. Figured digital was just overengineered nonsense. Last week I borrowed a Snap-on digital one from a buddy in Atlanta to check some cannon plugs on a King Air. It caught three pins I was under-torquing by about 5 inch-pounds. Now I get why the digital ones cost more. Anyone else had a tool they resisted then found out it actually works better?

Oh yeah I felt the same way about digital micrometers until I actually used one.
