<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>I purchased the $70 torque from Sears about 14 months ago. It was the click adjust type which adjusted the settings with a twist of the handle. I used it many times and the wrench was really terrific. The wrench was always stored in the original plastic box and hung from a hook on my peg board wall. A month or so ago, I was working on the Healey and tried to adjust the settings by twisting the handle. The handle just turned and turned without changing the setting. I went back to Sears expecting an exchange because the wrench was a Craftsman with a lifetime guarantee. This item does not have the usual lifetime guarantee (not stated anywhere) and Sears would not replace it. The wrench has been reduced to $39 and the store which is out of them tells me they will not be getting them in stock. They are now a clearance item company wide.<br><br></div>I looked at the item on the Sears site and there were several comments by buyers who had the same experience as me. I would not buy a torque wrench from Sears. My 1/2" drive and the 3/8" drive appear to be of identical construction so don't bother with the smaller one either.<br><br></div>For the moment, I have gone back to using my beam type wrench.<br><br></div>Disappointed in Sears and what appears to be a change in their "Lifetime Guarantee" on Craftsman tools.<br><br></div>Fred<br></div>63 BJ7<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 1:12 PM, rrengineer.mike <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">rrengineer.mike@att.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div>Can anyone recommend a decent torque Wrench at a somewhat reasonable b price?
