For the price of Snap On and the "now" lack of any warranty on most stress related tools, they refused to warranty my strap wrench, what are you paying for now that the warranty is gone?!?

I had a breakdown near alamogordo, NM, a couple of years ago and wound up needing a torque wrench. The Auto Zone in Alamo had a loaner that could be special ordered thru them. Wasn't the $9.95 wrench

Hay Guys, I just visited the Sna-On Store. A 20 - 200 ft lb "click-type" torque wrench is listed at $225 and the case is extra. I read the warranty: 1 year. They can shove it. I thing Snap-On tools a

Never leave your torque wrench under 'load'. Always back the barrel down to "zero" or a low as it goes.
