:( I have a Brownline 1/2 inch drive digital torque wrench that has always been a bit difficult to figure out, that has never seemed to work exactly as the instructions show. At least for me it hasn't Now despite a battery change it doesn't work at all. Where can I send it for repairs? With warmer weather coming, I can get into my garage again, and I find that I really need it.

They are out of Chicago or the burbs. Mine worked great until it didn’t at all. They warrantied it and the second one broke right away again. It’s been a paper weight for probably 4-5 years now..

I had one, batteries were always dead when I needed it, and then the threaded insert for the battery compartment came out of the housing and I tossed it… click style torque wrenches never have these problems

Purchased a 3/8” & 1/2”torque wrench from Harbor Freight. They each work just fine.

I remember I won one of those Brownlines at the raffle in Louisville in 2014 or 2015; I sold it to someone shortly after the raffle was over b/c I knew I would never use it.

I remember the exact same thing Derek! I think the key to these is to use it at least weekly or remove the battery.

I will say when I used it on the Marauder heads it was simply awesome.
