Well.. yes and no. The quality digital wrenches are great, but they need to be calibrated periodically (just like a click type wrench). I agree with Jim that the beam type, though not necessarily the most convenient, are the most repeatable and trustworthy. I will never get rid of my beam type, and use it almost exclusively for critial applications like steel bolts into aluminum threads.
