For most of us torque wrench recalibration is as useful as bathroom scale recalibration.
I can't imagine these go significatly out of calibration for what your doing.
But if you want to do it, make a simple 1 ft bar to hang weights from; something like. . .


. . .the idea being; 60lbs pulling at a right angle (90°) to the 1ft bar will pop the wrench set at 60 ft-lbs. A 2ft bar at 30lbs will also get you 60 ft-lbs.
. . .Get it?
