Calibrating torque wrenches...
I have a couple of clicker type torque wrenches... where does one take them to have the measurements checked?
Dunno - we have a service for the for all of our torque wrenches here at work. I left mine with one of the powerplant guys for a week, and got it back with a calibration tag.
I can check and see who services ours, but I won't be back in the office until after the New Year.

Yea bean there are companies that specialize in this stuff, just bring your wallet.
It would probably be cheaper to replace a HF one than to have it calibrated. Just a guess.Was that a harbor freight clicker! Who knew!
Yup, that's how I get mine done too! The test department has a "don't ask, don't tell" policy on that sort of thing. Never tried it with a cheap tool, though. They might not be able to get repeatable numbers if it's a shoddy one.Dunno - we have a service for the for all of our torque wrenches here at work.

Bean, I've got a clicker type I also use as a breaker bar. You can borrow it untill you get your's calibrated

That's not really such a good idea with a torque wrench.
