snap on = out big money it there just about grand i think

Well, with what you're looking for, Ryan, you're not gonna find one thats much under $1000... MAC and Snap-On make the only digital ones worth buying IMO.

Why not just send it out for cal? Cheap and effective.

 

[supra90turbo]

Any idea where to send one out JJ? I have a Craftsman and would really like to get it recalibrated.

OT: I remember reading that label about a chainsaw somewhere loooong ago! LMAO still... hahahahaha

There's gotta be a bazillion places that do it. It's common in both the autmotive and aviation industries. Search on "torque wrench calibration". Last time I checked if you send it out it'll be around $25 or so.

I cal my own because I work on aircraft. You can often get calibrators for cheap on ebay. You can also get the electronic socket/meter type (Sears sells them I think or check ebay) and either use it in place of a TW or use it to cal one. Lots of way to skin this cat. You can also use a known caled one with a crow's foot to adust yours or just hang a weight off it. You're not working on the space shuttle you know

You probably already know this but never store your wrench with it set to anything but zero. Yeah, it's a pain to dial it back down but it'll hold cal a lot longer if you do. And no using it as a breaker bar.

I've got a ton of those stupid consumer instructions. I just need to remember to change them often
