Craftsman "Digitork" Torque Wrench (44596 / 44597) Info
Couple interesting details I found in my torque wrench Owners Manual:
"Periodically, the wrench should be checked for accuracy. This should be done if the wrench is used frequently or is subjected to abnormal handling or storage. In assembly line type usage, the wrench should be checked every 5,000 cycles (torque applications). Calibration service is available by returning it to your Sears store."
"With the exception of the ratchet mechanism, the wrench is not user servicable. Return it to the nearest Sears store for service."
"The ratchet head may be repaired by ordering repair kits #44525 for 3/8" drive and #43445 for 1/2" drive models from Sears, Dept. 98, Source 449."
"Complies with American Nation Standard B107.14M and International Standard ISO 6789"
Warranty Info:

Yep, not everything Craftsman is Lifetime... Learned that myself just recently...
At least there is a repair kit for the mechanism, and the unit can be calibrated...
