Switched to a digital torque wrench after 12 years of using click-types

I finally caved and bought a CDI digital torque wrench about 3 months ago. Used to rely on my old snap-on click wrench for everything, but I kept second-guessing myself on those critical fasteners like the main rotor bolts. The digital one gives me a readout and beeps, takes the guesswork out. Has anyone else made the switch and noticed better accuracy on torque-sensitive jobs?

Real quick though, CDI doesn't actually make a true digital torque wrench. They're owned by Snap-on and mostly known for their click-type and dial wrenches. What you probably got is a Snap-on brand digital or maybe a different company's digital model that someone just called CDI. Either way glad it's working out for you, those rotor bolts are nothing to mess around with.

Huh, pretty sure CDI actually does make a digital model now though.
