Some years back, I took a 30-year-old 1/2" torque wrench to Sears to get a
ratchet kit.  That wrench was probably 25 years old at the time.  They
didn't have the kit available any more, so I got a new torque wrench.
 Those days are gone forever, I suspect.  And, in fact, policies like that
may have had something to do with it.

*sigh*
