I have craftman. I have the 1/2 and 1/4. You only need to get the 1/2. Mines lasted so far did bolt ons, cbe, suspensions.

Have you done any recalibrations on it to see if its accuracy lasted?

No I haven't. I'm pretty happy with the wrench. I use it to torque the oil filter to the 120 ft lbs nut on the suspension.

you mean the oil drain plug? ive not heard of many people that use a torque wrench for the filter or plug. when i do the oil change i just tighten it snug tight and that's it.

I use it on the filter too. I have this plastic cap that fits onto the wrench.
