My old torque wrench finally gave out after 8 years
I dropped about $200 on a new digital one last month, and honestly, it's a game changer for carbon parts. The click from my old one was getting unreliable, and I was always a little nervous. This new one beeps and has a light, which feels like overkill, but it's so much faster for checking a whole bike. Anyone else made the switch to digital, or are you sticking with the classic click?

Digital is just another battery to worry about.

Honestly that beep and light sound like a total headache... just more stuff that can break. I get what jake_carter is saying about speed, but my old click wrench has never lied to me. I don't need a computer to tell me when to stop turning a bolt. All that digital stuff feels like a solution looking for a problem.

My old click wrench started feeling vague, so I grabbed a digital one too. The beep is a bit much, but it's way faster for a full tune-up.
