same one I have 
although I managed to crack the locking collar on it by abusing it too much. Still works fine though, just doesn't lock as well.

 mine did too and they won't replace it w/o a receipt, even though it is a "hand tool". Maybe I need try replacing mine again with some other person at Sears.

interesting....I originally had a craftsman 3/8" torque wrench, but the block sheared off when I was using it as a breaker bar (  ). I took it back and they didn't have another one, so they just gave me the 1/2" as a replacement. No receipt, no hassle.
Why would you need a receipt? Where else besides Sears can you buy craftsman?

Can get them on ebay, but I NEVER needed a recipet. But I only brought in broken sockets and couple rusted wrenches.

The smallest is a click type, the two larger are needle.

From a previous thread, thought it would be useful info in here.

I have read on occasion that Torque wrenches need recalibrated. Does anybody do that?
What "position" do people leave their wrenches in when not in use? Meaing is there a specific setting that its left in?
I have had mine a few years and want to make sure its still the tool of exact measure it should be. I have the Craftsman "digital" 3/8 drive.

Yeah, but this thread reminded me that I need to try again, not that it really matters since I only use it for lugs these days and I just need to be careful the settings don't change while I'm tightening. I'll let y'all know what happens.

i dont have to worry about setting my torque wrenches back down to zero because the beam style torque wrenches dont get messed up fro turning the dail on the side up and leaving it set there. And this i know from my Co-Workers/College Instructors/Tool truck guys all saying the same thing that a beam style torque wrench doesnt have to be turned back down after use. as for recalibrating them usually best to have it done by some pace that can do it or for the few of us using Quality tools off the tool trucks can just take it back to our tool dealers and have them calibrate them.
