How the warranty actually works since I took time and looked into it: 1 Year (The Main Warranty): This covers defects in material and workmanship (the tool breaks or is assembled incorrectly). 90 Days (The Calibration Guarantee): This covers the accuracy of the tool. DO NOT USE IT TO REMOVE/LOOSEN BOLTS/FASTNERS. This is a tightening tool (torque wrench). Use a breaker bar, etc., instead. PROS: This is an accurate torque wrench. It's been tested by many reputable YT channels with industrial grade equipment and its among top performer of its class, even after 1,000 (1K) use cycles. The value of its pricepoint for what it offers in terms of accuracy and durability is high. Plenty of leverage with its long length. The locking mechanism is perfect and easy to use. It's nice to dial in numbers. You can torque down clockwise or counterclockwise. Click is loud and clear. Case and torque wrench itself look good in quality. Nice and heavyduty. Also offers Nm scale. CONS: It's not a digital torque converter. (its why it costs less but not always a bad thing) It's long, and even though that's why I bought it, dont expect it to fit every single area. Not lightweight. I dont think its heavy either but its also not light.

Great! The Wrench works great. CRAFTSMAN TOOLS ARE GOOD TOOLS!

Incredible bang for your buck! Comes with a nice storage case so you can put it away nice and neatly. Thanks to the long length of the torque wrench, torquing down my wheels takes minimal effort compared to me 3/8" torque wrench from another manufacturer. Rubber grip is nice and keeps my hands from accidentally slipping off the handle when cranking things down to higher torque settings. Locking collar and twist adjustment is buttery smooth. Everything clicks into place nice and crisply. Outstanding functionality. Feels robust and durable.

In my opinion, it works fine, but probably may not be the first choice for a professional. It's reality long and only is useful for 20-100 ft/lbs so not ideal for right spots and low torque. Technically you can use it for 10-20 ft/lbs by setting the specifications to below the 20 mark but set the rotating piece in line with that mark to get values like 11, 12, 13, etc. but be aware that the clink at these torques are extremely faint. Go very slowly and listen very keenky. Do not use on anything less than 10 ft/lbs! I already did that test for you and broke a bolt. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because after tightening just 10 lug nuts at 80+ ft/lbs, the left/right switch wouldn't budge and I lost all rotation on the drive. Nothing would tighten or loosen. I was able to fix it by using a pair of pliers and force the switch loose and then it was back to normal. I'm hoping this was just a "first use" problem. All in all, grip is great; material feels premium; clear instructions on manual; markings won't go away unless you chisel them off; and most of all, it works (click audible for 20+ ft/lbs). Great buy for DIY jobs.

looks like a great heavy duty torque wrench. my current one only went to 80 ft lbs. i needed one for wheel lugs, and axle bolts, or anything that requires more than 80. this goes up to 250 ft lbs. of torque! its a big ol tool too. probably 2' long! nice grip, easy to adjust too. spring lock after setting is easy. got some wheel bearings to change out, so this should be great for the axle nut!

Craftsman is a good alternative to expensive brands if you use tools occasionally. It is a good Product and come with a Calibration Certificate. Tested it along other Torque Rachets and its pretty Precise.

As described 🫡

Great quality of the tool itself and the case. Works as expected.
