CRAFTSMANTorque Wrench, 3/8" Drive (CMMT99433)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very nice and easy to read. Can’t go wrong with Craftsman.

I like this tool cause it’s made perfect. Easy to set up the twist dial and the settings are visible, very well made to last , comes in a plastic case . The length is perfect for torquing larger bolts

Very nicely built! Zero issues from me for my occasional use

The media could not be loaded. 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.

Excellent torquin, it's what I was looking for

Great product

I needed a TW for spark plug changes. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on something that won't get used often but I also wanted something of decent quality. After searching Amazon for a few hours and reading tons of reviews on quite a bit of different TW's, I decided to buy this Craftsman's 3/8" drive TW along with a Tekton 3/8" TW. My original plan was to see which one I liked and wanted more and return the other. After seeing them in person I decided I'll just keep them both as I did get both for a pretty good price. The Craftsman was over 40% off at the time also. Each TW is different in its own way. The Craftsman has a 1 year warranty, which was surprising cause I thought Craftsman was known for warranting their tools for life? The Tekton on the other hand does have a Lifetime Warranty. The Craftsman is bigger than the Tekton & it's bigger than I expected. I was looking for a small one since the majority of its life would be for spark plug changes. It's not that it's huge or isn't usable for the task, it's just bigger than the Tekton. The TW bar up near the head is the round style. The head is flat, but not the top part of the bar near the head. The Tekton is the flat style, which I also wanted due to my flat 4 boxer engine and spark plug location- might not be the easiest to get to with a round type. The Craftsman has a click that's way closer together than the Tekton. I'm assuming the Craftsman is a 72 click TW and the Tekton is like a 46 click. The case of the Craftsman is nice looking, but not very practical. It's much bigger than it needs to be and it's got a very unnecessary tool hanger on the top of it. I really wish Craftsman would have just built a hanger into the back of the case or not use one at all, but I'm glad the case was included with the TW. The stamped engravings on the TW bar are easy to read and will hold up for the long term compared to the laser etched readings on the Tekton. The readings on the collar look to be laser etched, might not hold up for the long-term depending how you take care of your stuff. The Craftsman manual specifically says to set the TW at it's lowest TORQUE RATING (not zero) while it's not in use. It also says NOT to use this to break things loose. Only use it as it's intended which is to Torque things down in the clockwise position. The best part of the Craftsman is the handle. It's super comfortable to hold. It's not cold metal like all other TW's. It's easy to adjust and comfortable to use. Craftsman TW came with a spec sheet, dated for July 22 which was nice to see. Now whether or not all of the companies are masd printing these sheets and just putting some random numbers on them or actually testing them is another question. There was another TW I looked at, and alot of the reviews had the same exact numbers, date, and person who tested them. That's what makes me question how reliable these spec sheets are. I was also surprised to see that Tekton didn't include one. It has a sticker on the TW that says it's calibrated and tested, but again, who knows. Other than that, it's a pretty basic TW but seems to be a decent one at its price point. I've also left a review over on the Tekton 3/8" TW if you'd like to compare. To be fair, I've rated both TW's a 3-star for everything and will update after I get to use them.
