[TR] Torque wrench

[Jonas Payne]

I don't buy anything precision from HF. They have a use - sledge hammers,
vices, and disposable tools. I have a parts washer and sandblast cabinet too
(all internals have been replaced in both).  You get what you pay for.
Anybody that expects top quality at 30% cost is deluding themselves

It's (free) replacement worked fine and still does.  Then there was the socket
set where one socket had no teeth.  And the seal puller that snapped on the
very first tug.
