Walked through a tire shop in Billings and saw a tech torque wheels with a $30 bar instead of the $300 one
That cheap clicker got him to the right spec every time while the fancy digital one sat in the drawer dead, so now I'm wondering if the tool matters less than just picking one and using it right.
My grandpa ran a whole farm for 40 years with a set of wrenches from Sears that cost less than dinner out. The guy who cut his hair in Billings for 30 years used the same $15 clippers the whole time, and nobody ever left looking bad. Half of getting good at something is just showing up with the same tool long enough to actually learn how it talks to you.
