Torque wrench
I bought a torque wrench from O'Reily Auto Parts in 2004. I paid $25 for it. It is one of those micrometer dial in types. It was like the old poem about the One Horse Shea that lasted a year and a day. The day I sold my Big Sky, the wrench froze up. I finally got around to taking it back to the store. It had a limited life time warranty. They gave me a new one, no questions asked. Good customer service. Oh yeah, the new one had a price tag of over $50.

Guess I paid too much for mine, $189 and change at sears, and that was six years ago. It is a high end quality tool.

Stiles,
Ah, young people!!! Us " Old Timers" remember it as Oliver Wendell Holmes poem, "The Deacon's Masterpiece", published in 1858, that described the "one-hoss-shay". I still get a kick out of the way the poem flows and the rhythm in which it is written.
The word "shay" is a US colloquialism of the French word "chaise" (pronounced "shay").
