Changed out some whels tonight and I go to torque them down and the torque wrench just keeps tightening and tightening - no clicking, nothing. Tried it at different settings - nothing.

I always reset it to zero after each use. What could be wrong? It is a Craftsman, do they have a lifetime warranty on the torque wrenches as well?

 

I don't think the warranty includes torque wrenches.

 

no warranty on craftsman torque wrenches

yshi - who uses aoigsr's snap-on

 

no they dont have a lifetime warranty. it is only 90 days. but i returned mine at sears and made up a line about it being only a few weeks old. but you can pay to have it repaired.

 

I had a Sears one but returned it because it felt cheap.

What is really want in one of these:

I am having a really bad day working on the car too. A 6mm bolt seized and the damn head broke off of the bolt when I try to loosen it! Now, I've got a bolt stuck in the thread and I can't get it out. ARRGH!!!. Oh yeah, since the damn bolt is so small i can't even use a drill to reverse it out!

 

sucks bra!!!! good luck, what chu plan to do?? drill it clean?

Yup, pretty much. Luckly the part with stuck bolt can be removed from the car... so gonna take it to a machine shop and have them frigging drill the crap out of it.
