torque adaptor for center lock wheels

I am not sure this is the right forum to post this, but it seems most CL searches and info are in this forum. Moderators please move if needed...

I recently purchased a 2011 turbo S. Upgrading the wheels and learning all about the center locks. I am familiar with the popular C4D600F with breaker bar for around $400. But I am always looking for different ways to do things. Has anyone used a digital torque converter with a breaker bar? Since a breaker bar is needed anyway for removing the wheels, why not just use a $99 digital torque converter for install? See link below...

I think that is a common thought, but I'm not sure how true it is. Digital strain gauges can be quite precise and accurate...
