what brand of torque wrench. Not something you can do yourself and most of the cheap ones aren't worth calibrating.

How much is this thing worth? I know its worth making sure its calibrated but as for real price I dunno. I picked it up for 60 bucks though.

Send it to a local Calibration or Metrology lab , ask them about a cert . You can do it yourself @ home if you have the equipment but that's expensive and you wouldn't be asking this question .
