Plus nothing screams SEXY like parking in the drive way, taking my pneumatic cut-off tool to the Jeep, and watching the sparks fly. Neighbors must think I'm nuts

I could post my dealership experience from last week but it would take 2 days for me to type it and this thread would be full of BS for at least a month but the part about the stealership that makes me about pee ma pants is when they called and wanted my winch controller because one of the "certified IDOITS " flipped the winch from engage to disengage and it unspooled in their shop then the reason they gave me made me about fall over :rotfl mao2:

oh and i almost forgot they gave me a free oil change when all they had to do is reset the chime that seemed to come on early but hey....I am not one to judge I laugh now but at the time I was pretty pissed

Hey, folks, back from my campout. Wanted to catch up on this thread ...

They were anticipating a lifetime warranty on "clicker" style torque wrenches. As has been pointed out, it only applies to the beam-benders.

The military exchanges also carry a very limited selection. Prices are pretty much the same, but no sales tax. Of course, I'm pretty much well beyond anything that would be carried in a limited selection of tools in my own collection.

There are a number of different companies that they contract with. For example, Danaher group makes their wrenches. Most of them are U.S.-made, because Sears specifies that. Now, you may have never heard of Danaher group, but I'll bet you're familiar with another of their product lines: Gearwrench. Yes, Gearwrench makes Craftsman products. But, Gearwrench products are made in Taiwan. Danaher says that the Gearwrench products are made to the same performance spec's as they use for their Craftsman line, and that they must pass the same tests. If that's not good enough for you, consider that a friend of mine who is a professional mechanic (and with whom I was camping this past weekend) won't buy Craftsman open end wrenches. "The tines spread apart too easily when used hard." And the first time I ever saw a Gearwrench, it was in his hands. I ended up buying a set of Gearwrenches because, unlike Craftsman, they actually realize that there are nuts/boltheads between 15-17 mm and 17-19 mm (IOW, they include 16 and 18 mm sizes in their "complete" sets).
