Does this look right to you?

The picture below is the bottom of the handle on a 3/4" torque wrench I have. It is a snap on qd4r600. I think its supposed to be like this. It looks like a metal was melted in there or something. I think it is for access for calibration purposes ? am i right? and i am interested in selling if anyones interested. thanks alot

I believe there is supposed to be a stick on Snap On emblem there.

yeah that what i think about as it supposed to have "cap" on it to make it look like normal...

I'm guessing that this is a metal seal to keep the calibration nut from being adjusted by a novice. The metal has a very low melting point and a calibration tech would melt it with a small torch, calibrate, and then remelt the material into the adjustment hole.

Its to prevent you from calibrating it yourself or those not qualified from messing with the cal. Our Torque wrenches when I was working on helicopters in the Marines all looked like that. If it wasn't there you couldn't use the wrench and had to send it off to cal to get it recalibrated.
