I needed to check the torque on my in-lbs torque wrench and at work, we have a tool to do so. It was in fact bad. going to buy a new one cuz it's not worth sending in at the price I bought it for.
When I tested my 10 year old Craftsman model 9 44595, it was pretty much spot on through the range of 20-45ftlbs (as high as the gauge went. only difference I got was how I did the test and it only ended up about 4ft/lb higher than spec when gauge was verticle and I was pulling down from 3 o'clock (think torquing lugnuts). This would be due to weight of wrench and man error. Greatest accuracy was acheived at gauge 90 degrees verticle pushing from 6 o'clock.
so if you need a new torque wrench, this is a very acceptable pc. Mine is sold old though it probably was made in the USA. now they are made in china of course.

I missed that last sale cuz I was lazy and didn't test my own out in time. Didn't want to buy unless I knew mine was bad. Definitely wondering when the next sale is coming around. going to snag up a 3/8" microtorque for 25-250in/lbs but I think their 3/8" drive 5-80 digital is too long. it's as long as my 1/2" drive. need a shorter one so going to have to go elsewhere for that.

I'm excited to shoot more videos with the Go-Pro, definitely recommend getting one if you are on the fence about it

Simmy - Are you using the latest Go Pro "Black"
The 4 I brought on my trip failed every time I tried to record video, GO Pro's official response was try turning it off an on again. Google is over loaded with pages of customers having the same issues. Random family I ran into in Yellowstone confirmed the same, kid said all he uses it for is still shots.
Updated all cameras to latest Firmware, Brand new freshly formatted 64GB and 32GB Sandisk memory cards. Extremely upset that we didn't capture any of Glacier National Park with the 4 cameras we had rolling video. But they sure do love to turn WiFi on by themselves and drain your battery.
