    I have a relatively cheap Sealy torque wrench, few years old now but never been abused. Is it worth getting the calibration checked, had a look online and looks like I could get a new torque wrench for not much more than the cost to calibrate it. Sealy themselves quoted me more than the cost of the wrench.
    Cheers.

    I followed a couple of YouTube videos and checked my Sealy basic wrench myself. It was still within spec

    Thanks, was thinking about doing it myself but seems a bit of a faff and not sure how accurate it would be.
    I'm sure it's fine, havn't used it for about a year and noticed I'd stored it away set to well below the minimum setting which you are not supposed to do.
    Anyway, looks like I've found a mobile service which will do it for £15. Average price was about £45 plus postage.
