Blew $400 on a torque wrench I barely used

Bought a fancy digital torque wrench for a one-time engine job on a Cessna 172 last spring. Now it just sits in my box collecting dust cause I reach for my old beam style every time. Anyone else regret dropping cash on a specialty tool they thought they'd use more?

Sell it on Barnstormers, you'll get half back easy.

Barnstormers is the move. Sold a busted Garmin panel there for almost double what I expected. People on that site know what stuff's really worth. Just list it with good pictures and be honest about the issue. Should move quick.

Oh man, I heard someone say once that digital torque wrenches are basically just expensive paperweights after the first use, and yeah, that tracks with your story.
