If you have a Craftsman Torque Wrench that needs replacing, go ahead and take it back to Sears and ask for a replacement. Even if the docs say it is only guaranteed for one year, I returned an older one 2 years ago. It never hurts to try. If one store won't take it back, try another one. You have nothing to lose in trying.

Also, Craftsman torque wrenches ARE NOT gaurenteed for LIfe as many Craftsman tools are. If you will READ the booklet, and instructions that comes with YOUR own wrench, then you will know what THAT manufacturers recomendations for storage really are.I know we MEN have a very bad reputation fopr discarding instructions, but if you will just read yours before you toss them, maybe you will learn somethiung rather than what you Thought. I know 100% for certain that if you read the info supplied with Craftsman Torque Wrenches you will learn it is guarenteed for ONE year only.And, on Craftsman you will learn they want ]]click type]] Torque Wrenches stored with 20 # tension on them.
