Some of you folks may remember my thread about torque wrenches a week or two ago.
In the end I wound up ordering a new Gearwrench 85063. It was pretty much the range and drive I had. Shopped around, cheapest price was under $100 at Amazon and also of all places Walmart.
Since theres a Walmart less than 20 minutes from my house I thought it would make sense to order it through there just in case there was a problem. Ordered it Monday and it was there today.
Came home and I was like a kid at Christmas. I know you guys know that feeling. LOL
Opened the plastic case and the first thing I noticed was oily finger prints all over the ratchet end. Then I see the wrench is set at 30lbs. Case has some scratches.
I called Apex Tool down in NC. The guy that is helping me requested a ton of pictures that are already sent. Turns out Walmart might have had a 3rd party supply this tool. Not Walmart, not Gearwrench but some knucklhead that might have an account with Walmart. This sucks. Its like ordering a new pair of tighty whiteys and getting someones worn dirty drawers. Needless to say Im really pi$$ed.
I can take it back and get a refund tonight but Im waiting for the guy from Apex to call me. Maybe they will swap it for a new one since I have a receipt.
Moral of the story...Be careful who you buy from.
