Really?! Wow. I've done some VERY mean things to Mastercraft tools and didn't break them. I always assumed that Craftsman and Mastercraft were very similar but you guys don't have down Mastercraft there so I used Craftsman for the example.
The worst thing I can remember was putting a four foot pipe on the end of a power bar and using two guys, pushing with everything we had. We stretched a 1 inch steam fitting bolt. (steam fittings are made to have a VERY large yield range) I'd estimate we had at least 4000 ftlbs on that socket and the socket & power bar were fine.
Yeah, for air tool I just stick with IR.
