Remember to relax the wrench before storing. It will be more accurate the next time you use it.

Sorry, but I have had two craftsman's break and they don't warranty their torque wrenches lifetime...plastic ring on my 3/8's dial wrench snapped which always causes the dial to move the torque setting and my really nice 1/2 in. KD tools sears re-branded one broke internally which I have to take apart the head and reset the internals sometimes...honestly I shouldn't trust that one anymore but it's still pretty damn accurate when compared to my other torque wrenches...I have found the Titan ones from Northern Tool to be pretty good for the $.
