Those old pointer torque wrenches were good enough for grandpa, they are good enough for me. But those setting torque wrenches sound awesome.

Both have their purpose. The click ones are great to quickly get through a torque sequence. The beam or pointer style give a nice visual representation of the torque. Snap On makes a digital one that will give an instant torque readout and beep when you reach the setpoint. Best of both worlds
