Where do you get them calibrated?
It's easy if you know someone who works for a mechanical engineering manufacturer.

I posted this yesterday, but it has disappeared, presumably because, as a hotlink, is was deemed to be an ad.
www.applegate.co.uk/products/psb/7968.htm
It shows links to calibration places.

When I was at college we were shown how to do it by clamping the ½ square drive in a vice, and then hanging weights off the handle of the torque wrench at a measured distance.
That aside, I didn't remove the link. DD.

Screwfix actually do 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" torque wrenches made by Teng Tools.
Not sure what they're like as I have an older screwfix TW made by someone else which seems ok.
Of course, if they are not set accurately they are as good as useless

Now where did I put that set of weights and the weight hanger my employer gave me as a leaving present when I retired? ;-)
