Craftsman...very disappointing lately..
I had a digitork torque wrench...it just quit clicking...took to my friendly
Sears store. The guy just shook his head when I told him it did not
work...he said it was guaranteed for 90 days! WTF? 90days? So, on the way
home, I tossed it into the Chattahoochee River where it will lay, FOREVER.
"hello Snap-on?"

when I did my RF axle seal, I got the nut off with 1/2" hand tools.
when I tried to do my lower LF ball joint this summer, I broke two 1/2"
breaker bars (sheared the head out of a Craftsman, twisted the socket
pin in half on an SK), and I think I broke a Craftsman 1/2" ratchet,
too. I ran out of things to break, so I gave up, and had the pros do
it last week along w/ my rims.
