The beam type is great, if you can see the gauge. They suck when working on something and the gauge is at an angle that prevents direct sight. I had a digital version that had a not very loud beep. It would also show me a warning if I was over torquing something. My garage always has music playing, and often a fan, heater or air conditioning running. The electronic beeping was hard to hear.
I really prefer the click type, my hand can always feel that click. I have a 3/8 beem type I use for critical torque at lower ranges. For wheels or higher torques I have a harbor freight model that the tool tester guy rated as good if not better than Snap On.
I have never bothered to get a tiny little torque wrench to use on the 911 valve cover nuts. There is very little space for my big hands and a wrench. It would have to be a click type or electronic as I sure could not see that display of a beam type for valves. Just a snug "wrist torque wrench" is fine.
