inI finally started trusting the crane's computer for load charts instead of my old handwritten notes.
My uncle was a machinist for years and trusted his manual calipers completely. Then his shop got a digital readout that spotted a measurement error he kept making.

Lets him focus on the bigger stuff without sweating the small mistakes.
