1000 cycles per month!?? I think 8k to 12k cycles would last me about 10 years... About all I use mine for is lug nuts and hub nuts.... Of course, ymmv. Scott Whitehead

The easiest way to check the accuracy of a torque wrench is to own a second one or borrow one long enough to torque one against the other. A beam-type wrench is cheap, and makes a good way to check

Yes, in the sense they should be checked for accuracy periodically. However, I've never seen one that was adjustable (except for zero), so AFAIK if the accuracy is out of spec, you throw it away and

I disagree slightly. Check a beam type torque wrench once after you buy it, and that's it. Prior to each use check to be sure the pointer zeroes, and that's it. The beam's modulus of elasticity will

One thing about click-type torque wrenches is that they have to be turned back to zero after use or the spring will be stressed and eventually give erroneous readings. While they are nice to use they

One thing I've heard is that you can extend the accuracy by dialing it back to zero before storing it. I don't know how much it buys you, but there it is... -Andy 72 Pantera - Rocky 91 Miata - Steve

A little web surfing turned up several places that will recalibrate your click-type torque wrench. One of them also had the tid-bit : "The actual click from a torque wrench is considered a "cycle" o
