[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 946127, member: 3828"] Yeah, that box would be accurate when it is new, just like my torque wrenches theoretically were (I'd never checked them before). But eventually, you'll want to re-check it too. That would mean either sending it out for recal or doing it yourself. I failed to mention it because my wrenches can't be re-calibrated, but you could use my method to recalibrate a wrench that [I]does [/I]have that capability. In that case (if you will be recalibrating, not just checking) you probably [I]would [/I]want to weigh the test weight with a highly accurate scale. My postal scale is OK, but is still analog / springs technology. You would also want to factor in the things I dismissed (weight of the hanger and the weight of the hanging wrench) in coming up with the total torque applied number. So [B][I]that[/I][/B] explains your glowing personality, Billy!! :P [/QUOTE]
