Craftsman torque wrench - calibration

How to calibrate your torque wrench using a known weight.

Thank you! I just screwed mine up by trying to use it at 185. Nut unscrewed at about 170 ft/lbs. Was gonna toss it. Now I can fix and recalibrate to DIY mechanic specs.

Thanks for posting this. I have that craftsman torque wrench.

I had no idea I could calibrate my torque wrench myself. Thanks. What's the torque value for those two nuts? (just kidding)
