Where to take torque wrench for recalibration?

[John Larkin]

Never done it. Mine didn't click the other night when I was installing some aluminum wheels, even on 0 torque. Guess I need to get this done. Anyone know?

What brand? Craftsman, Snap-on?

 

[John Larkin]

No name brand. I just clamped it in my bench vise and got it clicking. Still, I don't think I can trust it now.

Check with the local small airport, the A&P mechanics there will be able to tell you the best place to take it. Honestley if it is a cheapey you will end up throwing it in the trash and pulling your engine apart to retorque it once you find out how bad they really are. At a minimum buy Craftsman.

John, your tool guy can take care of it.

Matter of fact, I need an older 1/2" 50-250 done. Thanks for reminding me!

FWIW...if you have a Snap On guy coming there, dont let him sell you that electronic one. I hear there are problems with it.

Ok, no disrespecting my wrench. I raised it from an inch-pound. I'll check with the Snap-On guy that comes by and see if he can give me a recommendation. Thanks for the suggestions.
