I lost the original thread from last year <?> .. but regardless and irregardless .. I bought a new torque wrench today - after returning my second Princess Auto $ 50. unit - both fell apart in my hands - just doing snow tires in the driveway 2 times per year. The new $ 120. DeWalt is almost a foot longer ooh ; has a very fancy plastic case ; Whoo-ooh ! But one point that was made in the original thread - using it to loosen the lug nuts - the DeWalt has several warnings to NOT use it to loosen ! The packaging says " limited 1 year warranty " the web site says " lifetime replacement warranty" Canadian Tire and Home Depot.
.. the jury is out .. I won't hold my breath ...
