Ok guys as a current Mac Tools Distributor I can tell you that there isn't a lifetime warranty on Torqure wrenches. There isn't a lifetime warranty on torque wrenches from any company. However if the torque wrench has replaceable gears in the head they do carry a lifetime warranty. I've seen a lot of comments on the snap-on 'lifetime policy' and can say from experience that it isn't worth the paper that it's written on if your dealer is a prick. Snap-On gives the final word to the distributor so if he doesn't feel like fixing it under warranty it won't be.

With Mac if you feel that you've been wronged then they will try to fix it. Mac is by far the fairest company when it comes to warranty. Craftsman comes in very close second but really lacks the quality.
George, nowhere in the warranty is there a statement that says 'the ratchet mechanism has a lifetime warranty' The reason for this is that the forging for the ratchet extends deep into the measuring mechanism of the torque wrench, and is an integral part of the device.

If the parts are no longer available, then no one can fix it. I personally had this situation, recently, with a Snap-On 250 lb-ft wrench that I bought in the mid seventies. Guess how I fixed it.I had to buy a new one.Ouch that hurt, $230.00 of my hard earned cash! Go and read the policies of any of the tool manufacturers.there is a warranty of not more than one year for torque wrenches, some are as short as 90 days.
A torque wrench is a precision measuring device, and as such, is not considered a hand tool. They must be calibrated and tested periodically for accuracy.
There is only one torque wrench that I know of that has a lifetime warranty, it is the BRUTUS tire and wheel torque wrench, the price is about four to five times any comparable wrench.Why is that? Because you are paying for your 'free lifetime replacements' up-front, when you buy the first one. Not every too has a 'LIFETIME COMMITMENT' to the owner, some items that you can abuse or destroy during use are normally not guaranteed by any tool company. You folks seem to always get the Sears corporate policy confused with the Craftsman policies.Many times the 'free replacement' has been given to keep a customer satisfied, not because they were obligated to replace the item. Sears has always honored the 'Satisfaction guaranteed, or your monies promptly refunded' policy that has been in effect since Sears, Roebuck and Company opened for business.
OFF SUBJECT BUT. Despite their committment to keep the customer happy, the way corporate America keeps going, the way manufacturing overseas continues to undercut American manufacturing, the way politics keep bending trade policy in the favor of imports, I am willing to bet that in the relative near future we will see the end of Sears. Then with the leader gone, the end of 'guaranteed forever' on any tools will be next.
I didn't think I would ever see the end of Montgomery Wards but I did. Our country is going to crap. On a smaller scale you can see how Wal-Mart is driving small businesses that have served their communities for generations out of business.
