Subject:Easy torque wrench calibration
From:Nicholas Wilson

Here's a quick and easy way to calibrate a "click" torque wrench if you also have access to a simple beam torque wrench. I bought a double female socket drive adaptor which allows me to connect the two wrenches together. Now I can simply pull torque between the two wrenches and read the scale on the beam where the click happens.

Happy torquing,
Nick
