Is my Snap-On Torqometer FUBAR'd?

Guy wanted $25 for the case, said the wrench was not working. Went and talked him down to $15 (clean wrench BTW, barely any scratches), had a pretty good chat, seems like both of us watch Kijiji daily for deals LOL . Found why he said it didn't work, the screw/nut attaching the dial indicator to the torsion shaft was rattling around. Took at least 30 minutes of swearing before I finally got the nut to mate with the damn screw. Dial works perfectly as it should, thinking the drive is jammed, tried banging on a wrench which was turning a hex bit to no avail, will try a vise next. Seems like it was overtorqued at some time? Don't have high hopes for this, but I now know what the problem is.

When the drive is twisted as is in the above photo, they will in my experience return it to you not repairable. Might be able to get a rep on the phone that can confirm that. Depending on the age of the wrench, it may not be repairable.
When I was in Hamilton and sending repair to Alberta, this was the case. Best bet is track a dealer down and see if they will even send it in for repair.
