Switched from a generic torque wrench to a Snap-on TechAngle for a 737 flap actuator job

We had a job on a 737-800 last month that called for a specific 120 inch-pound setting on a critical bolt. The old wrench we had was okay, but the TechAngle's digital angle measurement and click feedback were a total game changer. It eliminated the guesswork on the final turn, especially in the tight space near the wing root. Anyone else made a specific tool upgrade that just made a tricky task feel simple?

Sounds a bit over the top for a bolt. A good torque wrench and a steady hand have worked for decades. Not every job needs the fanciest tool in the box.

Worked for decades" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. My dad's "steady hand" is why our patio table only has three legs.
