Anyone have any experience with Digitool Solutions Torque Wrenches? How do they compare to Precision Instruments and CDI? Specifically Micrometer type.

The only comment I can make is that my PI 1/2" and 3/4" torque wrenches have been excellent for my usage in the farm shop. More importantly though, what is your application intended uses for the instrument? What works for me may not work for you kind of thing.
I can find a PI, CDI, and DTS that will all fit my needs. Just time to upgrade, as my C-Man have broken, and I am in the middle of replacing VANOS on a M62, so I do NEED left handed torque. The CDI appear to be fine, it's just that DTS is somewhat new, designed and made in CA, (Lead Engineer left CDI to start DTS), and wanted to support a newer company if their products are as good. I do like that fact that their 3/8 (100lb) wrench is a few inches longer than the PI, and an inch longer than the CDI, as every little bit helps in the 50-90lb range.

You fail to mention whether or not you consider torque angle a requirement. I sell high quality digital torque wrenches (Eclatorq - OEM for Stanley Black and Decker eg. MAC, Proto and USAG). Personally, I prefer a clicker unless torque angle is required. In that case the digital are the way to go but I caution you to buy a wrench with much more high end than you think you'll need or you'll exceed its maximum torque when doing angle. For example if the spec is 37 ft-lb then add 180 degrees if you're using a 100 ft-lb max wrench you'll be past 100 ft-lb by the time you complete the angle part. This puts the wrench into error mode which is not good.

Thanks for response. Right now, I don't need angle, just micro clicker, with the ability to torque Left Hand threads. Need 30, 80 and 90lb's, left hand. I just bought CDI 10-100 3/8 and 30-250 1/2. May add a 1/2" 20-150 as all three (30,80, 90) are 1/2 inch sockets....
