SWEET!! Watched way too many Sears/Craftsman torque wrench videos before I found yours. Like yours, mine sort of just stopped working - after sitting in the toolbox, undisturbed for probably a decade. I took it apart but couldn't understand why it wasn't working when I put it back together, but I finally watched your video, then washed mine, applied fresh grease, straighted the wire spring (it had deformed a bit), and reassembled, and now it works like new again! Thanks! Also - reminder to all owners of all types of torque wrenches, always store them zeroed-out (No torque). Otherwise, they're under tension and will wear out/go out of calibration.
My old Craftsman had the same issue. I was able to watch your video and completely restore it. I did not want to get rid of it as it was a quality tool and was a gift from my grandfather. Thankfully it works like new and will give me and my son many more years of service. Thank you!
