You bought some awesome wrenches. Do a search here and you will find great endorsement everywhere, so buyer's remorse is not needed. Most think that micrometer wrenches are the "standard", so it is hard to initially accept something different. I like the wrenches for their ease of use...

The only part that is foreign on the CDI wrench is the head....thus the foreign component. The Snap On branded wrench uses a Snap On head....thus all U.S. made....supposedly. You have a hybrid! Maybe a collector's piece!!!! Call CDI and ask if they ever put Snap On heads on CDI...

Back to the OP, your wrench is kind of bizarro. It looks like you have a "CDI brand" wrench handle with a Snap On head (fixed/non ratchet). Here's a picture of a CDI wrench logo and their import ratchet head: If you go to this link, here is a picture of a fixed head wrench similar to yours...

You bought a CDI branded wrench, not a Snap On branded wrench. They are NOT the same. The label on the CDI looks completely legitimate and forth coming. Nothing illegal there. Call CDI tech. support and they will tell you that their wrench is the same as a Snap On, EXCEPT that the CDI...

Others will chime in if aftermarket options are available, but here is a TSB to help get you started (thanks to a recent thread at Bob is the Oil Guy) http://www.toyotapart.com/OIL_FILTER_CAP_ASSEMBLY_PRECAUTIONS_T-SB-0104-09.pdf Looks like you can find aftermarket ones for under $15 if you do...

We often complain here that we would rather pay a little more for Danaher/Craftsman to maintain a decent quality level verses their current trend. I wish S.K. all the best in establishing a mid-level line of quality, U.S. made tools that are better than the imports, but not as expensive as the...

NO, YOU SHOULD NOT USE YOUR TORQUE WRENCH TO LOOSEN FASTENERS. The breakaway torque will always be higher than the tightening torque. In your case, since you were at the upper end of your scale, you certainly exceeded the capacity of your wrench and may have damaged it. While the "sweet...

Felco is to the nursery industry like Fluke is to the electronics industry. They set the standard that others try (and some do) to meet.

When I bought my workplace torque wrenches a couple of years ago, part of my research involved talking with a CDI "tech" (at least he seemed more knowledgeable than just a phone answerer). He claimed that the CDI wrenches shared the same internals as the Snap Ons, but the CDI ratchet head was...

ovilla, There's tons of good reading here if you do a search. If lifetime warranty is your priority, then Harbor Freight is where you want to shop. None of the best torque wrench companies warranty their wrenches over one year. Your 100 ft. lb. wrench is only good down to 20 ft...
