On another Forum I recomended that some one return their Craftsman Troque wrench to have it fixed.
He tried and said there was only a 1 year warranty.
I did an internet Search and found one source that said there is only a 90 day warrany.
from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craftsman_(tools)
"The lifetime warranty does not include precision hand tools, such as calipers and Torque Wrenches,with the exception of beam-style torque wrenches. In 2003, Sears removed the lifetime warranty from Craftsman Flashlight and changed the warranty on Tame Measures to cover all parts except the blade itself. Replacement blades, however, were made available for purchase from the stores to offset this policy."

Above a poster tells of only 90 day warranty. "I then found that Sears only gives you a 90 day warranty on torque wrenches."
The above info was new to me. I guess when you buy smething a Sears now it is best to ask what the warranty is.
