Dropped $300 on a fancy torque wrench that I only used once before going back to my old Craftsman

Watched a YouTube video from a guy who used to calibrate tools for the air force and he said most of us don't need digital torque wrenches because the click type ones are just as accurate if you treat them right, so now I'm stuck with a gadget collecting dust in my box - anyone else bought into hype on a tool you barely touch?

Ever try selling it on FB marketplace or a tool swap sub? I see digital torque wrenches move pretty fast if you price it around 150. lol I made the same mistake with a Snap-On scanner years ago, ended up just using a cheap Bluetooth OBD2 reader for 90% of what I do. Take the hit now before that fancy wrench drops in value even more.

The click type is all I use now. Digital tools just add another battery to die on you at the worst possible moment. That air force guy knows what he's talking about. List it on eBay before the warranty runs out.
