I prefer "I own the torque wrench, and if it doesn't do the work I purchased it to do, I'm going to junk it and buy another." I also buy my tools with a great deal of care and scrutiny, rather than trusting mass media to tell me what to buy. No, I'm not the government, but I do make intelligent decisions on what government to purchase, based on my own unique set of needs, wishes, beliefs, and values, and NOT on which one Fox News promises me will be the best one.
If only our government came with a lifetime guarantee.
