Hi Peter,

I am on my third Craftsman 10-75 ft-lb torque wrench.  I had the first one for about 7 months and when using it recently the
springs popped out of the locking mechanism.  Sears replaced it, but reluctantly, because I did not have my receipt (they are
 only warranted for one year).  Fortunately, I used a credit card and they were able to pull my purchase up on the computer and
so they replaced it.  I came back home and was using my new wrench to torque the cv axles on Maggie's bus and the racheting
 mechanism would not reverse at a certain point (maybe a bad tooth in the ratcheting mechanism).  I took it back and this time
 Sears gladly replaced it.

Is it a good torque wrench?  I have my doubts about its long term viability.  But for the home mechanic, who else sells a good
 one?

Best of luck.
