this was, of course, my point exactly. the big, fat 'craftsman' right on
the handle, which _should_ mean guaranteed for life, right? the drone
supervisor ended pulling a torque wrench off the shelf and showing me the
back. said the accuracy for a year, nothing else. he wouldn't take the
wrench, I was going to press his boss, but enough is enough, I thought.
fu[k 'em, I'm to the point where I'll toss a craftsman and buy something
else just to not have it in my toolbox. I was always worried about it's
accuracy anyway...

amazingly enough though, I've never had a problem returning other tools,
even those with obvious signs of abuse.
