Craftsman9-31425 20-150 ft lbs 1/2" Drive MicroTork Torque Wrench

This Craftsman 1/2" drive torque wrench is easy to adjust and build to last many years of use. I have an existing Craftman torque wrench that I purchased back in the 80's stills work as it's new. I use this torque mainly for tightening wheel lug nuts. Can't go wrong with Craftsman brand tools.

I love Craftsman products. My last torque wrench was a Craftsman and it finally bit the dust after 5 years(but it shouldn't have.) Nothing bad to say about this one, I recently removed both wheels off of my truck(with a breaker bar) and when I reinstalled my new torque wrench worked like a dream. The reason I say read the instructions is because I wore out my first one prematurely and now I know how to take good care of it.

First time owning one after a long time of needing one. Seems to work great. No complaints. Has been in use for about a year now. Only once have I needed a stronger unit on the several applications I've put it through.

Unfortunately both the quality and warranty Craftsman tools were once known for is no more. You're better off buying a harbor freight wrench. I wish I was joking, but I'm not. I bought one of these only 2 months ago and it's already broken. not just out of calibration--broken. The ratchet mechanism no longer works, and the tool skips and jumps, won't turn. I tried to take it to Sears to hacve them honor the lifetiume warranty only to find out they don't consider torque wrenches a hand tool, and don't cover them under said warranty. Furthermore, it seems Craftsman will now only honor the limited one year warranty on these tools if you take it back to the same store you bought it from. Tough luck for those of us who bought it on amazon and are outside the sellers' 30 -day return window.Go to Harbor freight. The quality is about the same, but it'll cost you less, and more importantly, you can take it back to the store when it breaks. Not so with Craftsman.

Durable. It has lasted a very long time. Still in great condition. Craftsman no longer is offering life time warranties on products. If a lifetime warranty tool is desirable to you, I would go with a different brand.

I will say up front that this only has 4 stars solely because it is not made in the USA.I have been very disappointed that Craftsman decided a while ago to offshore production of their tools. They were never the best tools money could buy, but they were by far, the very best tools you could get Made In The USA for the money.Because of their decision to offshore, when it came time for a torque wrench for my traveling tool kit, I looked at everything other than Craftsman. The other USA brands were more than I wanted to pay for this application. I gave Tekton a shot because I've bought a few of their tools in the past that were decent. It turns out this is not the case with a torque wrench. The Tekton was terrible. It also looked as though it was the same or similar to most of the other imports.That lead me to this Craftsman. Yes, it is made in China. It appeared though, that the design is the same, or very close to the same, as my USA made Craftsman. As suspected, even though iris no longer made in the USA, the design and operation is the same as my old Craftsman.As long as Craftsman is not made in the USA I will ship other brands. In the end though, in at least some cases, they still make better tools than the cheaper import brands.

Bought it for one of our field techs. It works well and as long as you release the pressure by setting the wrench to zero after every use for storage this wrench will last a lifetime.

My boyfriend has been wanted one of these for years. I finally splurged and got him the good one.Bonus to me is now he swaps my studded tires and off as needed in the winter!He loves it -says its a great high quality, craftsman tool.And my tires are ALWAYS perfectly balanced when he's done.
