I have both a 1/2 drive beam and a 3/8 drive click. I've found that most of what you need to do can be done within the range of the 3/8 click. The beam is fine but, you need to be in a position to see the scale. One of my friends pointed out though, after you are done with the wrench for the day, reset it back to zero. It will stay calibrated longer.
