I recently purchased the CRAFTSMAN Torque Wrench, 1/2" Drive as a replacement for a malfunctioning torque wrench that I had previously purchased from Home Depot. Here's my review of the product based on my experience:

Works as advertised, functional for torquing most everything. It seems really durable, it’s heavy. It’s a turn handle style torque wrench, so it’s pretty easy to use. It’s a 1/2” drive torque wrench, so it fits most of your big size sockets.

After years of not having a quality 1/2 drive torque wrench I took the plunge on the brand I have known and trusted for many years. There was a strange timeframe after sears sold craftsman that I was unsure of the future of the brand. But after seeing craftsman back in my local hardware stores I had to go back and check them out. I don’t need to depend on my tools to make a living so I don’t want or need to spend high dollars on tool truck tools. The craftsman click style wrench is all I need for the work I do. Be it wheels, bearings, heads, aluminum parts or other things that get torqued! This wrench is sturdy, strong accurate and well made! I read a bunch of reviews of lots of brands in the same price range but I kept coming back to craftsman. I for sure would recommend it.

I have a cheapo Pittsburgh (Harbor Freight) torque wrench that goes up to 150ft lbs and I have a small Craftsman torque wrench for inch lbs. When I needed something bigger, I figured I was going to have to pay quite a bit for the better quality that I’ve seen in my Craftsman wrench. To my surprise, this one was only $60, which is cheaper than the HF Pittsburgh of the same size. It’s a no brainer.
Size is good; the 24” long handle gives the leverage you need for higher torque values. It gives a solid click when you hit your torque, and you can feel it in the handle as well (see video). It is easy to read, and you set it by pulling down on the spring-loaded collar and twisting the dial to the desired torque. Performance seems good so far- I had to torque a bolt to 240 and it did it with no problem. It comes with the calibration report showing its accuracy before it left the factory. The wide torque range makes it pretty versatile for medium to heavy duty jobs.
It comes in a nice looking case, too!

Easy to adjust, stays set, comfortable to use. Seems accurate; the company provided a certificate of tested/calibration, which was a nice touch. I have 4 different Craftsman torque wrenches of varying sizes and configurations. They all perform well. The click is audible enough, as I know some people complain that they can't hear it.

You can also feel a pronounced "click" when torque is reached. If anything, my complaint would be about the small numbers, which are a bit difficult to read. Some guys will paint the numbers in. I suppose I should do that. Never had any issues with these wrenches. A good price point.
