My Coworkers and I share the Tq wrenches, I have a hard time having them put it back in the tool box let alone take out the batteries. I go through a set every couple of months but its a pain if the tool crib is closed, I work nights making it more of a challenge. THe craftsman wrench I own, is digital, my shop is only heated when I am in it, so the fancy watch batteries only last a year. The snapon ones are at least AA batteries. I prefer just a clicker, sometimes when its noisy in the shop, you may not feel the buzzing or hear the beep that the snapon ones use. For me simple is good.

As for dial wrenches, the only thing I use them for is determining the run-on torque, beam torque wrenches are fairly accurate, just not as nice as a clicker that you just set and turn. I use torque wrenches a lot, from aircraft to machine maintenance, ease of use is something I cherish. Tim
