I have two Craftsman torque wrenches. One for inch-pounds, one for feet-pounds. I have never heard to leave them unloaded. Mine have been in storage since 2004 , probably still set to the last time I put a set of heads on a SBC.
Would they still be accurate, IF they have been left loaded this long?

"Don't leave a load on springs" is the common wisdom for most things (I don't know about torque wrenches exactly). But in the gun world we have found that compressing and decompressing springs does more harm than compressing them and leaving them compressed (guys who load and unload their pistols magazines daily wear them out faster than guys who leave them loaded), so it might not be that big of a deal.
