Doesn't the craftsman guarantee apply to torque wrenches? I was under the
impression that it applied to every craftsman hand tool, and therefore,
your replacement should have been free...

Otherwise, cool information!

That was the *first* thing I checked. Torque wrenches are NOT included in
that warranty!

You might say that, yes.

Too bad one of them is now random...

Sadly, it doesn't apply to torque wrenches. They have a one year warranty
and the store demands the receipt. I haven't thrown away my Craftsman that
suffered a similar fate (I replaced it with an all steel torque wrench for
half the price that works great) so now I may do some surgery. Calibration
may be the hard part.

Mike

I was thinking the best way to compare them would be by finding a doohickey
that I could put a torque wrench on each end of and adjust until the clicks
were as simultaneous as possible.

Incredibly the warranty doesn't include hammers either. When I brought one
in with a shot handle the sales guy told me to buy a new wood handle. I
explained I hardly used the darn thing and my father's hammer handle was 50
years old. He finally gave me a new hammer.
