With the Craftsman one, I think you can take it to any Sears to be calibrated. Not sure about any other ones.

I took mine, a craftsmen to my local sears to have this done. Asked a guy about it and he looked at me like I was nucking futz. Then he asked me what I was going to use it for "tightening lug nuts on a car" the guy said "that’s way overkill, just take a wrench and make sure there good and tight" Needless to say at that point I walked out of the store and haven't been back since.

Find you local Snap-on dealer and he will get this done for you free.

That's crazy, he's a low paid employee at a place that sells decent tools, not a professional, knowledgeable wrench.

When my wife finds interesting little things at stores that are made of wood she always asks the sales people, "what kind of wood is this?" I keep telling her that's freakin' crazy. They make $7/hr. Even when they tell her, 9 times out of 10 they probably didn't know and have a default answer for anything made of wood.

I took mine to NAPA and they did it.

A few of us on the BMW R1100S forum have sent ours to...

About $30 total - including shipping - for one of my old 'clickers'...... came back with a calibration chart/certificate.

LOL on Sears. Same experience here. Often wonder how much longer they'll exist.

Oops, sorry - didn't see that you had a Snap, and that they'll calibrate it free. There ya go, eh?
