Torque wrench calibration.
I have an old torque wrench that I used to use years ago. Is there a good place locally that I can get it calibrated so I can use it again?

Thanks!

Was the torque wrench stored it its lowest setting? Its best to return a torque wrench to its lowest setting after every use.

Oh I know, but I forgot to do that the last time I used this thing in 2005 or whenever it was. This is why I'm looking for a place to calibrate it.

If it is a good qualitity torque wrench, you should be able to return it to the manufacturer and they should be able to calibrate it for you.

Could you compare it to another wrench on the same test bolts?
