Bought a torque wrench from them once. Did not work no matter what I set it on. Returned it and the manager insisted I take an exchange. I tried the second one, same thing. Brought it back and the manager didn't believe me. I set it on the lowest setting, we went out to the parking lot and attached it on a lug nut on my truck. The truck was bouncing and the wrench would not slip.

Bought a cheap corded drill once and the thing wobbled so bad I could only drill slotted holes.

Tarps are good. I've got a dirty water pump that is a beast. I think it would pump dry sand if I tried. The more expensive version of sockets are ok, but the cheap line is crap.

I "filled out" my 1/4" sockets from HF only bc I'll never put enough pressure on them to break them.

Well this isn't encouraging

Thanks for the info so far

You know that torque wrenches don’t slip, right?
