Well, I suppose theoretically it won't go to zero. I've never tried to 'click' it with my fingers, you know? But, I think it would be more accurate if they said they will go up to 150 ft/lb in 1 lb increments, instead of 20-150 --- whatever.

I probably use mine mostly for lugs. I rotate my wheels every 5,000 miles and I maintain several other cars too. I could live without a torque wrench, but I wouldn't want to. I think everyone should have one.

One thing about Craftsmans... treat them like they're made of gold. They have a plastic handle, and more importantly, a plastic lock ring. If you drop it, or toss it around, the ring will break and make life difficult for you. That's the only down-side to them that I know about. Treat it right and it'll last you a lifetime.
