Click-type vs. digital torque wrench, which should I buy?

Across the reviewers we read, click-type wrenches are favored for their durability, lack of batteries, and lower cost, while digital wrenches are preferred when you need tighter accuracy (often ±2% vs. ±4% on click types), multiple units of measure, and audible/visual alerts. For occasional automotive work like lug nuts, a click-type 1/2-inch is usually enough; for engine internals or scope mounting where precision matters, a digital is the safer pick.
