That fancy digital torque wrench I bought was a $400 paperweight

Spent $300 on a digital one that was dead on arrival, never buying that brand again.

Did you try reaching out to their support team at all before posting about it? I've had a few DOA items over the years where a quick email or phone call got me a replacement shipped out within a week. Sometimes they ask for a serial number or a short video showing it not powering on, which is a bit annoying but beats eating a $300 loss. Just curious if you got any pushback or if they ghosted you completely.

Dead on arrival stuff really stings... especially when you drop that kind of cash. I actually watched a YouTube review where a guy tested a bunch of digital torque wrenches and like half of them were DOA straight out of the box. He said it was because they got banged around during shipping and the electronics just gave up. That might be what happened here. Sucks that a $400 tool is basically a paperweight unless you can get the company to make it right.
