My Snap On 3/4 drive torque wrench went bad. I think someone used it for a breaker. Anyway, Snap On wanted $400 to take it along and maybe fix it. I bought a new CDI which is owned by Snap On on eBay for $400. I kept the ratchet head out of the Snap On and threw it in the dumpster. We have a lot of bolts that require around 350 ft. lbs. I just don't trust anything other than a USA or a German made one.
I have a couple of 50+ year old beam type that were guaranteed for life. We have quite a turn over in Snap On route men and the young guys are always amazed that these old beam type torque wrenches are still right on. They only read up to 150 ft. lbs., but that is enough for my old GMCs. I would trust a used beam type off of eBay before I would trust a Chinese one.
