Got a buddy who torqued head bolts on a 6.7 Powerstroke without checking his wrench. It was clicking early on the first few bolts cause the battery was low on his digital tool. He figured the rest were fine and kept going. Blew a head gasket 200 miles later on a test drive. Cost him a full weekend and a fresh set of gaskets.

Man, that sucks. Digital wrenches are nice but not worth that headache.
