Old timer at the FBO made me rethink my torque wrench habits

Was fueling up a 737 in Tulsa last week and this guy who's been turning wrenches since the 70s saw me using a digital torque wrench. He said 'son, you trust that screen more than your own hands, that's how you snap a stud on a hot day.' Been thinking about it ever since, he's got a point about feel. Anyone else still use click-type wrenches over digital on flight controls?

Man, that old timer gets it, feel is everything when the bolt is about to give.
