Ever get your torque wrenches calibrated?

I've got a couple of Sears clicker type torque wrenches, and thought it would be a good idea to get them calibrated. Anyone done this?

Yes, I sent my Craftsman in for calibrating a few years ago.

Some people do send them out to be recalibrated. I know a few guys that had concerns that their Sears Craftman torque wrench was not properly calibrated so they took them back to Sears. They said they were not working right and Sears gave them a new one no questions asked...

I left out an important part of the question is where did you do this, and I'd like an approximate cost.

Thanks

Topsy, Usually when you buy a new, brand name torque wrench there is paperwork that comes with it that tells you where to send THEIR torque wrench for recalibration. If you don't have the paperwork perhaps someone here will have the Sears Craftsman / address to send the torque wrench to. If info is not available here ask Sears.

Just bring it to sears and say it is broke and they will give you a new one. I actually bent my and they replaced it.

Mine are done every week, ( I have two sets that rotate) but I don't pay for it, or have to send them out.
