    Not sure what's going on at Milwaukee, but...

    Yep, I have never had any of my personal torque wrenches fail. But the last airline I worked for the had a lot of new mechanics, and they treated tools like ****. Some of them would ask if they could use mine. I said hell no.

    I would have if they had one. The only one they had in store was the Craftsman one and they would not let me pay the difference. Ended up buying a 11/16 off the Snap On truck. That is normally what I do if I break a tool for work. Then the other tool goes in the home box.
