Had to pick between a new torque wrench or a full bearing press set for the shop

Our shop budget was tight last month, so I could only get one big tool. It was either a digital torque wrench for precise carbon work, around $250, or a full bearing press and removal kit for headsets and bottom brackets. I went with the bearing press because we've been doing a lot of old bike overhauls lately. It's already saved us a ton of time on three projects this week alone. Has anyone else had to make a similar choice between a precision tool and a heavy-duty one for general repairs?

Makes sense to pick the tool you'll use most right now.

How often do you find yourself picking the practical tool over the fancy one?
