No more Blue Point or Snap on Torque Wrenches for me. Been using them all my life, but everytime I send I torque wrench in, the parts are no longer available and they want to sell me another one. We are required to send them in a minimum of once per year, so I have a minimum of two for each range from 1/4" to 3/4". It seems to take forever to get them back to. We have a torque calibration tool at this new shop, and you"ll never beleive this, I have a $10 Sam"s club 1/2" drive torque wrench that I bought one time to use as a large, cheap ratchet. Been through hell and back and abused like crazy. Looks Identical to my Proto 1/2" drive and uses the same ratchet parts. It calibrates perfectly and I know it"s 15 years old, been used with a cheater pipe and everything else. My Older Proto"s are still going strong, and my Mac"s are doing well, and my big 3/4" drive Snap On aircraft wrenchs are doing good. But the 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" Snap On Click type are JUNK, Mainly because Snap on discontinues parts every couple of years on them!!!!!
