    My Craftsman DigiTork Torque Wrench finally expired after 31 years!
    (Bought that sucker in '81!)
    Sears pulled their:..."The Craftsman lifetime guaranty is only for hand tools and wrenches....*NOT torque wrenches!" B.S. on me so......
    I told Marianne that I wanted the Brownline Torque Wrench for $99 including shipping.
    She went online and put in the 'MM' code for the discount and we received the Torque Wrench a few weeks ago.

    IT is a SWEET, quality tool!

    Only problem is that I have to wait for Christmas to use it!......

    I will report back next week once I get my greedy hands on it!

    Thanks Brownline!

    *I know for a fact that when I bought that Craftsman DigiTork Wrench, Sears had a lifetime guaranty on it.

    Sears used to do that to me all the time with tape rulers. I snapped two or three a year. They finally said only the yellow ones or was it the red ones were guaranteed for life. which ever color it was it became impossible to find that color anymore. They did the same thing with aviation snips as I used to go through a pair a year. I don't buy my tools there anymore, no guarantee no patronage.

    OK... now I'm curious....why are you tearing up so many tape measures and tin snips....?

    Takes a lot of time and effort to make a Frankenstein monster

    Seriously I was a general carpenter for most of my adult life and tape measures routinely snap somewhere between the tip and the 18" mark. Must have gone thru a 100 or so in the 25 years. Snips are used for flashing work and cutting things they weren't designed to cut but were handy at the time. Must have gone thru a dozen hammers as well. Sears always honored the warranty on the hammers.

    How often should these be re-calibrated?

    I will probably be ordering one in the next two weeks.

    We would recommend around 3K uses. We re-calibrate them in Chicago.
