Torque Wrench Repair???

Warranty is one year, NOT the basic hand tool lifetime.
The locking ring (plastic) cracked on one of mine.
I talked to a guy at Sears and he says "bring it back", I said "it's out of warranty", again he says "bring it in".
I go in next day and manager of tool area says "How old?", I say 10 years.
He explains their warranty, one year, then tells me "Next time someone asks, tell'em 6 months."!:cheers:
