The warranty is still honored by Firestone Stores,,,,there is an error in the following URL where it is said that Penny's will refund your money to get out of the warranty.   The batteries will still be replaced as long as you are the original purchaser of the battery...I just called a local Firestone Store on this, but now they say I must pay for a battery and submit the invoice to Penny's for compensation.   Not quite sure how this will happen and could be a real pain,,,no one wants to make it easier, I suspect.

They may have changed the procedure, don't know, But  I will add this.
35+ years ago as I was building my 'Last a lifetime' tools collection 
J.C. Penney had the nicest torgue wrench in the price range I was 
looking at.  Over the years since, they have been very easy to work with 
keeping it calibrated. Every Time I have gone in with it to get the 
service it was painless and expedient. One time they even managed to 
replace the cushioned grip once.

Like lots of good tools, it's something I reach for when extra reach or 
leverage is needed, it has served well even when used for non torque 
wrench circumstances.
