You can also take it back to the store and they'll check (but not
re-calibrate it) for you for free.
The warranty for craftsman torque wrenches (at least on the click-type
wrenches I have) is much, much more limited than their standard hand
tool warranties. I think the torque accuracy is only under warranty
for 30 or 90 days. If the wrench actually breaks, then it's covered
for a longer period of time.
Can't really beat the warranty on the rest of their tools. Buy the
big set once and you never really have to buy those tools again unless
you lose them.
