How to Calibrate a Torque Wrench and Screwdriver

How to Calibrate a Torque Wrench and Torque Screwdriver

You don’t want to be surprised by a torque wrench or torque screwdriver deemed “out of calibration.” After all, torque tools are precision instruments used to tighten critical, often safety-sensitive fasteners. Torque screwdrivers and wrenches go out of calibration with use. These hand tools should be tested and calibrated frequently based on the tool usage…
