Mine are the Snap-On versions and they vibrate and beep
when they reach the value that I have set on the LCD. So they
are like the beam that tells you how much torque you are applying
[assuming you can see the display] and like the clicker that tells
you when you've reached the limit without having to look at anything.

Agreed. If I already had a set of clickers I liked and trusted I
would not have bought the digital.
