My $60 torque wrench from Harbor Freight finally got me to stop second-guessing myself

I spent years using the old beam style torque wrench my dad gave me. It worked fine but I always worried I was under or over the spec. Last month I finally picked up the digital click type for about $60. First job was head bolts on a 4.6 Ford and I had it set to 85 ft lbs. The click was so crisp and repeatable I just trusted it. Next day I double checked a few fasteners with a borrowed Snap-On unit and my numbers were spot on. Now I do the same for lug nuts and suspension bolts. Anyone else make the switch from beam to click style and feel silly for waiting so long?
