Don't skimp when it comes to tools like this. Craftsman is probably ok, but I really don't like mine. I had one that broke after about a year, and thats with a very small amount of use. Then the one I got to replace it seems like it is starting to go bad as well, when I pulled the headgaskets off recently, I measured the compressed thickness, and the top part of the ring was 0.010" thicker than the lower part. Now I know this could be other things as well, but I am somewhat suspecting the torque wrench. (Yes I release the tension in the wrench after every use)
I would reccomend selling that damn sub you are tryin to dish off on me and buy a Mac, Snapon/Bluepoint, or Matco wrench.
