Wheeler FAT wrench digital or analog????

[bluedog69]

About to purchase a torque driver. Just wondered what your preferences are?
Pros and cons? I will mainly use this just for scopes. I have a 1/4" drive inch wrench for
heavier stuff.

Digital or analog? 15 in lbs or 17 inch lbs on scope caps. Which one will be most accurate
easiest to use? Swaro says 17.7 in lbs max in their instructions. Just wanting to protect from over
tightening.

Thanks.

I like the analog much better because it clicks like a torque wrench should! Lol..i like to back and check them and like the click feature much better for this.

I just got an analog version, came in the mail yesterday! From all I have read the analog is the preferred version. Have not used this one yet but waiting for light to come on versus the klick did not appeal to me.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I have had both. The digital quit working and the analog one keeps going. Analog is a lot better in my opinion.

I have the analog version as well. I've never had a problem with it, so that's what I'd recommend!

Remember to let the pressure off it before you store it after use and it will last forever.

Well, I am glad I asked this question. Part of me said "click" should still be good enough.
The other part of me said don't be stuck in your ways.

Think I will probably just go with "old school".

Had my Analog since they first came out and as OD said, just make sure you let the pressure off.

Analog. Quality scopes can take plenty more. I do all scopes to 25 lbs. I've had issues under 20 lbs. Take it for what it is.

Analhog. The digital is a BEYOTCH to use.

Well I have an analog on the way.
Thanks for all of the input!!!

Another vote for analog, simple and zero issues, use mine all the time.
