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.
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.
For the moment, I have gone back to using my beam type wrench.
Disappointed in Sears and what appears to be a change in their "Lifetime
Guarantee" on Craftsman tools.
