Method for checking torque wrench accuracy?
I bought a real nice snap on 1/2" drive torque wrench (30-150lbs), and am thinking of getting a 3/8" (5-75lbs) one as well. I've been told that recalibration runs about $50 ea., but that with careful, casual use, that that won't be neccessary for 4-5 yrs by snap on. You all seem very creative, and I was wondering if anyone has a way of testing a torque wrench for accuracy, or a general idea of how accurate. I hesitate picking up the second one because it seems a little extreme to spend $100 every year or two to calibrate a wrench that sees not a lot of use. What do you guys think?
Thanks,
David
