Serious question, when did you switch from a manual to a digital multimeter for troubleshooting?
I held onto my old analog Simpson 260 for years, thinking the needle gave a better 'feel' for fluctuating voltages. Then I spent a whole morning last fall tracing a ghost call on a 90s Dover, and a colleague's Fluke 87V showed me a transient spike I never would have caught. Anyone else have a specific job that finally convinced them to make the switch?

That's a good point from @eva468, but digital just gives you the hard numbers you need.

Hayden's right, you need those exact numbers to make real decisions. I tried tracking a slow leak with an analog gauge last month and the tiny needle movements drove me crazy. Switched to a digital reader and had the actual pressure drop in seconds, fixed it the same day.
