Which brings up a question.

Which is better..... reliably close or unreliably precise?

I'm not arguing against using torque wrenches. But they shouldn't be a reason to not develop hand skills.

Failure to develop decent, though less than perfect, skills puts you in a position analogous to that of the folks who follow GPS navigation apps onto airport runways, into rivers, the wrong way down one way streets, etc.

Good tools are not a substitute for good skills.
