If this question is for me. I have the digital calibrator you put in a vise to check the torque at the different settings. I set the wrench in the mid pound settings as close as I can, then check the indications at higher and lower settings. I record the higher and lower settings so you will know how to adjust your true torque.
It's surprising how far off torque wrenches are. This all started with installing new valve springs. The torque spec for the rocker arms is 22 ft lbs. So if your wrench is off by just 3 lbs. that's a lot.

It can be used as either one. If you don't have a torque wrench, you can use this. It's a bit cumbersome. It's also used to calibrate a torque wrench. Yes, the same as a Quinn.

so how exactly would one know that the measuring device used to calibrate the measuring device is accurate and not in need of calibration?
