Hey, just was wondering what everyone does to care for their torque wrenches and how often and where do you get it's calibration checked?

I have a Craftsman lbft torque wrench that I have had calibrated once in ten years I have owned it. I mainly use it to torque lug nuts when I rotate my tires. I have used it for the head bolt torque on my Jetta when I replaced the head on it.

Unless it is dropped or I used it more I don't see a need to have it done any more. I know in the Air Force ours were done every 180 days but they were used every day and most cases they got bumped or dropped often.

I used Team Torque in the past. Good prices for what they did at least from what I can find. Nothing close to me does calibrations far short of finding a SnapOn, MacTools van around.

I did a search on here thinking this was asked already but didn't find anything.
