The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Craftsman torque wrench, great deal at Lowe's

I have had a bad experience with Craftsman "Clicker" torque wrenches as well. My problem was with the collar that goes around the wrench that you use to set the torque. On mine, it was a cheap piece of plastic, and broke almost immediately. When Sears wouldn't replace it under warranty, I wrapped a couple of layers of electrical tape around it, which seems to work.

However, I haven't had a lot of confidence in the readings I have gotten on it since.
