Warranty would only cover a failure. You broke it you bought it kinda deal. Luckily mine all came out at 70k miles. I also took 4 hours to remove them turning the an eighth of a turn at a time soaked in pb blaster.

I had 3 plugs break and it was easy-peasy to use the tool and get new plugs in. Admittedly, the guy at Autozone scared the heck out of me but it all worked out. Just goes to show you that just cuz someone works at a car parts place doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

Anyone stumbling across this thread and need this tool, I will sell for $40 plus postage. Used once, recently sold my stang and have no use for the Lisle 65600 tool now. Would post this in classifieds but you need 50 posts according to the rules.
