Remember to always turn the torque setting on any torque tool to 0 before putting it away, leaving it at a torque setting for prolonged periods of time will cause accuracy issues with the spring.

...and never use it as a regular ratchet for breaking fastener's loose.
Something I learned the hard way when I loaned mine out to a guy that was supposed to be a mechanic. He did this and when he brought it back it was knocked way out of calibration.
Sometimes it can be more costly getting a cheaper torque wrench re-calibrated then a new one cost. And still yet, some of the real cheap ones are throw aways and cannot be re-calibrated once they're screwed up.
