Where, in generic terms, would a feller get a torque wrench calibrated or tested for accuracy?

raytasch:

I just had my Proto wrench cleaned, repaired and calibrated by Team Torque in Bismark, ND. Find them at:
www.torquerepair.com

Total cost was $49, including cleaning, repair & return shipment. Simple calibration costs around $20. They will clean your case if you send it with the wrench and also provide a traceable certificate with every calibration at no extra charge. Turnaround was about 2 weeks, including ground shipping.

I sent them the wrench, then they called me with the price & I gave them a cc#.

I looked for a place closer to N. California, but couldn't find anyone. These guys did a really good job for me. Note that generally accepted standards require that a torque tool be calibrated yearly! Wonder how many are?

Check at your local airport with one of the aircraft mechanics there. FAA regulations require us to have them calibrated yearly. If there's nobody locally that can do it for you, e-mail me and I'll give you an address where you can send them.

Ihave tested torque wrenches by twisting them with a quality new one. Our snap on dealer has a socket that has two 1/2" square ends we set the two wrenches to the same torque and turn them together they should click at the same time. I have done the same thing using a bolt with nuts on it and two torque wrenches. Torqueing a bolt with one wrench and then using the other on it is not accurate. Mark is right though calibration is best, however old tractors do not have the tolerances nor the neccesity of reliability needed on aircraft.
