Accuracy outside that portion is not guaranteed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should a torque wrench be calibrated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the manufacturer specification - commonly a fixed number of cycles or an annual interval, whichever comes first. Recalibrate immediately after a drop or any suspected overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I store a click wrench at zero?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind it down to the lowest setting on the scale rather than forcing it below zero. This relieves the internal spring while leaving the mechanism within its designed range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use an extension or adapter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn extension in line with the drive does not change the applied torque. An adapter that extends the length of the wrench does, and the setting has to be recalculated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClick, beam or digital?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeam wrenches are simple and hold calibration well but need a clear line of sight.
