I have one, didn't know you needed to get them calibrated.

Yeah it's always good to get it calibrated every once and a while. If you drop it, it can mess up the calibration.

I have a Kobalt 50-250 ft lb torque wrench that I keep in my Commander year round. I've wondered if extreme temperature changes will affect it?
Mine is in my Commander year round. I don't think it effects it

The most important thing is to return the torque wrench to its lowest (or zero) setting.
Ive never had mine calibrated but its not a bad idea if your wrench is getting old or see's a lot of use.
I guess since we are not torquing anything major how it is stored is not so important. However the ones we used in the Air Force working on the Pratt & Whitney F100-220 jet engines they had to be calibrated every 180 days and stored in a climate controlled environment, basically like inside your house and not out in an un AC/heated garage, or Commander. LOL
That holds true for most "non-critical" manufacturing plants that want to meet ISO quality assurance standards as well. In any industrial environment there are specifications for QA certifications..... lol most of our "garages" don't fall under such QA requirements.
