It was on the engine when I got it. I could feel it giving as I pulled on the wrench. It didn't feel as if the bolt was breaking; it just kinda kept going. Hard to explain. The area that crushed is right under the bolt head. It's why I kind of figure the wrench is okay. It feels the same tightening other bolts as it aways has. -Certainly not a calibration test.
I haven't looked at it closely yet. I'm working under the truck and was more than ready to quit when I felt that!

I have the new one. I'll try posting pictures of each.
