Torque limits??? whats that?

Agree completely with the "torque limits??" part... (they do say UNCONDITIONAL LIFETIME warantee!!) unfortunately, (at least at the closest Sears Hardware to me) they ONLY rebuild rachets in front of you now and have said that the exchange is no longer an option (corporate greed imho). I think this will get worse before it gets better. Even simple hand tools like combination wrenches are being "cheapened up" through simplification of design/engineering/production to better pad the pockets of the manufacturers while charging more for the "new design."

Jason, clearly the Made in USA version that you have is higher quality (metal good, plastic bad), and no longer produced... that sux.




If anyone has any quality tool (manufacturer) that they love, speak up... I don't have any MAC stuff, but I'm assuming that would be a top name... anyone have anything else?
