Agree with you............. People need to think what was used for decades. People need to think for them selves. What do you think the check the digital, or clicker torque wrenches against
Eh?
In days gone by, calibration was done on a fixed bench dial gauge. Nowadays with modern technology the calibration systems are all electronic strain gauges linked to PCs for conformity recording and certification.
Just because a technology is tried and tested it doesn't mean that it can't be superseded with more reliability and cost savings.
My own collection of torque instruments is all manual but I'm open to the concept of going digital.... My only question is what is more reliable, a cheap low end clicker or a cheap low end digital adapter.
