Consistent Crimp Torque Wrench? Anyone seen these?

As a long time user of Torque wrench, I have to say it has me scathing my head.

First, even under optimal conditions, using the specific goop (lube) , clean threads etc, a torque wrench is only good to about 20% accuracy. Too many variable.

Brass longevity is tide to minimum shoulder set back, its misleading that the neck sizing claims that. Not untrue but misleading

And everyone agrees neck sizing make the most accuracy ammunition? I would say that falls in the same debate area as what oil is best.

Crimp? Who crimps rifle bullets? Yes you can, I might for a rare Safari hunt once in a lifetime (and test the results before I go) but normally? Pistol yes, and how accurate can the best pistol get?????

Another Gimmick. I have been following a lot of this and someone has decided that we need more stuff.
 
They like to sell gadgets and many believe the more gadgets you have the better the ammo. So they buy gadgets.

I loaded a lot of good ammo with a Lee Classic (Whack-A-Mole) Loader which has to be the most basic gadgetless loading ever devised by man or beast .... It made me realize a lot of the stuff sold is totally unnecessary .
I get a consistent crimp , when I do crimp , with the crimp die and the press,
I'll pass on the consistent crimp gadget for a mere $94.95 ...Yeowzer !!!!

As I recall, this thing, or one like it, was hyped as the best thing since sliced bread when it came out a few years ago. This is first time I've heard of it in ages. I'm the world's worst gadget freak, but I couldn't convince myself to buy one. Looks too much like a solution looking for a problem. ymmv
