Sorry you got a bad Crapsman. I've had plenty of bad tools from HF,
including some Pittsburgh flare wrenches that didn't turn flare fittings.
Too loose, they slipped. Your reversible, you maybe could have filed the
burr down? I also had a full pack of AA batteries (alkalines) from HF leak
in the box. My HF electric plug in impact wrench, the switch is flaky, it
loosens but doesn't tighten.



I bought a plastic pack of those about two years ago, and have nine
left. I use them in wireless mice that are on 16 hours a day.


What mice? I've been using Logitech wireless since they first came
out. Not anything fancy, just typical 3-button. Laser now.
Light is always on.
Always wish they had an on/off switch to save the batteries.
Using rechargeable, but it's a hassle changing batteries out pretty
often, maybe every 10 days or so.


I have a couple of the Logitech MX mice, with rechargeable AA batteries and
chargers. It's a perfect combination. The mice just get "hung up" after use
and the batteries are replaceable. Both have had one new set of batteries in
their life. I also have a few of the wireless mini-mice. While they're not
rechargeable, at least Logitech had sense enough to use standard AA batteries.
