I'm not sure, but I think you can sign up to get one.

Not saying all their tools are junk, but it'd be worth a few extra bucks for some added peace of mind IMHO.
Just don't ask O'reillys about the price on their big torque wrench 100-600 ft lbs (which you'll need around 350 ft lbs on some suspension parts) the "account" price is near $600! But on the flip side, I got a 150 ft lb torque wrench from them in the neighborhood of $25 I think
I have not had any trouble (yet) from any tool I have bought at Harbor Freight. I know they might not be the best quality, but most times I really only need the tool for one application and spending money for Craftsman, or some other more expensive brand, is mostly wasted.

I think when the funds become available I am going to invest in a good high quality wrench. Hopefully my code reader and timing light will arrive today.
