I Have a Craftsman also 15 years old now and hasn't missed a lick so to speak. I think one very important point is.... After you use the wrench Back it down to ZERO to maintain accuracy,take the load off the spring inside, anyway that is what the expert's have told me.

Yep, that's what my directions say, too.

Santa brought me a SEARS torque wrench....but it is calibrated in inch pounds to 250.
From what I am reading on wheel torque , we are at 110 foot pounds. So my trusty new wrench will not do the job ?
you have to calculate foot lbs 1 foot lb is 12 inch pounds -- 10 foot lbs is 120 inch lbs it depends on what u are torking , it would be ok for wheel bearings

Yep, you need a different wrench. My son-in-law is a big biker (the pedal yourself kind) and uses the inch pounds wrench for his bikes. The foot pounds wrench is what you need for the trailer and TV lug nuts.
