Appreciation post: I fought against digital torque wrenches for years, but a job in Miami broke me
Honestly, I used to swear by my clicker wrenches, thinking the digital ones were just expensive toys for new guys. Then I got a contract doing heavy checks on a fleet of 737s where every single critical bolt needed a logged reading, and my old method was costing me hours. Ngl, I bought a digital wrench after three days of that misery and it cut my time per engine by like 40%. Has anyone else been forced to switch tools on a specific job and actually been glad about it later?

My old shop in Dallas made us switch to digital for all turbine work.

Yeah, that tracks. I read an article about how the FAA is really pushing for full digital logs to cut down on paperwork errors. It's a pain to switch over but probably the way everything is going.
