    So im not really sure what to do?

    I don't know what your local recruiter told you, but the army does not require you to have college credits, only a ged or high school diploma. Go for your Ged. It's a key that unlocks many doors. Try the navy, army, coast guard etc.. Apply at your local utility companies, city jobs, etc...

    Sears won't warranty craftsman torque wrench?!?

    If you could offer me some advice, I'd appreciate it. I've gotten nowhere with customer service, and going to my local store is an even greater effort in futility. Customer service tells me its covered, the store wont do it It's like being stuck in a circle of stupid.

    Sears won't warranty craftsman torque wrench?!?

    unfortunately, that's not an option for me, My torque wrench is at least 10 years old, most likely more I remember using it when I bought my first truck, and I think that's what i purchased it to work on. They couldn't even find the part number on their computer.

    My other money pit

    Like a 3 legged cheetah, fast but all fucked up. I blew the head gasket on it avoiding an accident with a bimmer (tip: downshifting and kicking out the rear at 40+mph looks cool, but costs too much) so now I'm in the process of replacing them, but have too much on my plate to give it the...

    Sears won't warranty craftsman torque wrench?!?

    for shits and giggles, I went back to the first sears that I went to to try to turn it in again after I posted the pictures this afternoon. This time there was a different 'Head of the department' and different sales associates. Unfortunately the results were nearly the same. After asking for an...

    Sears won't warranty craftsman torque wrench?!?

    My local snap on vendor does the calibrations, I'm not sure if he sends them out or not, but last time I gave him my wrench he had it back to me the next week, costs $15 for a beam type one and $35 for the click type. Tomorrow I'm off to a different store armed with that printout, a copy of...

    Sears won't warranty craftsman torque wrench?!?

    to counter the arguments, yes it is my fault. But im not asking them to recalibrate the tool, im asking them to replace it after looking i found exactly what i was show in the store, albeit in digital format. here the calibration isn't covered, the fact the plastic is damage is why I want...

    Sears won't warranty craftsman torque wrench?!?

    So, I experienced gravity today. While helping my friend assemble a spray booth, I dropped my craftsman torque wrench. It hit the floor, cracking the plastic handle (the part that sets the torque) and splitting the locking plastic piece. no biggie I thought, it's a craftsman, it was bought...
