They're all made of alloy steel. Funny, I've never had a Craftsman wrench or socket do that to me, unless it was a regular socket used in a half-inch drive impact wrench. I have never had a problem with tool replacement with Sears like I have with Mac and Snap-On salesmen's "Prove that you haven't abused this!" attitude. "Swede"

My CS nut was on WAY too tight one time. No amount of huffing against a three-foot cheater pipe would bust it off. My 400lb ft air impact and an ordinary 1 1/16" Sears socket did the trick. The socket survived just fine. Does Sears sell impact sockets individually? RM

Yes

Just went to Snap On's site. Cheapest 1/4" torquer = $177. Sorry purists, my $28 Harbor Freight Taiwan special will not be replaced. For as often as I and friends use it, it's fine. Bogdan

No.

Hold on now! I tried to return a broken torque wrench and they said the replacement policy doesn't apply to torque wrenches. Or did the guy shine my on?? TK
