hey guys, I have a quick question. I have a husky ft/lbs torque wrench from home depot and a craftsman in/lb torque wrench. I have always put them to there lowest setting before storage. I let a buddy borrow them last week to help with putting a lift kit on his truck. When I got them back I checked and they were NOT put to the minimum settings. They would have been like this for a maximum of 6 days. Should I be concerned about the accuracy now? I did some research and am getting mixed opinions so I figured I would just ask.
Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't get excited about it. Your car springs support your car for a lot of years with minimal rate change. If you're concerned, check it against another one.
