Default Any place in SoCal? (torque wrench calibration)

I want to get my torque wrench calibrated but I want to get it checked out first if it's still usable. Are there any local places around Los Angeles?

Do they open it up and stuff? It kind of has a little corrosion on the body of the Wrench.

They don't. They usually have one to show people how far off your torque wrench is vs there's. If you own a SnapOn one that's off they'll sen it off to get it done. You can check this part out from SnapOn. It only will tell you if it's off though.

Maybe I'll buy something off the truck and ask if they can do it

They can't calibrate it, they can just tell you it's off or ok.

Alright, thanks man. Hopefully they will drop by my school. I'll keep the wrench in the car and I'll hopefully find a snapon truck and follow it

I need an impact wrench as well.

What kind of impact wrench do you need? If you are interested in SnapOn then shoot me a pm.

yay, atleast I know it works. I used my torque wrench at school and tried one of theirs.

I still want to try it at the truck though.
