guys, I'm a marine mechanic and I learned the hard way not to buy any tools that will have torque or forced applied to from homo depot!
Every tool that I've purchased at sears over the past 5 years that has stopped working (for odd reasons), broken or not working properly I will take it to sears and/or Kmart(owned by sears) and you get your tools exchanged by the same tool or by a comparable one. No questions asked! I even used to buy old rusted cratsman tools at the flea shop for pennies on the dollar and go to sears and returned them for newer shinny ones! :thumbsup2:
In the other hand, HOMO DEPOT is a big :nono: for buying precision tools! If I need to buy a screwdriver or a tape measure, I will gladly buy it here. If it is a breaker bar, ratcheting wrenches or any other tool that will break if applied brute force too. Don't even waste your time. I have a 1/2" breaker bar, a set of husky gearwrenches, 1/4" micro ratchet that I threw on a trash can after the home depot ahole manager informs me that in order for me to get my tools fixed or replaced I had to send them by mail with a copy of my receipt to husky headquarters and they will issue the exchange. Eventough husky tools are lifetime warranty I still had to do all that crap!
Just don't buy tools at home depot! Go to harbor freight tools and get their made in china crap instead!
