Man, I have to disagree with you on this one. Those digital adapters are only as good as their calibration, and I have seen way too many guys trust a cheap one that was off by 15 percent and never checked it again. A beam wrench might not be fancy but it does not drift on you and it never needs a battery in the middle of a hangar at 6am. You got lucky that bolt was just sticky and not actually stretching, because a digital click would have told you the same lie the beam did. I am not saying toss the adapter, but calling the beam style a gimmick for kids is backwards in my book. Get that adapter checked on a known tester before you trust it on anything that matters.
