[Adam McLaughlin]

Hi Guys,

What is the procedure to get a Matco torque wrench re-calibrated? How much does it cost, where do I send it, etc....?

i was just wondering about the same thing.. i bought a mac tq wrench at a sale and was wondering about gettin it calibrated

Someone gave me one as a partial trade for an engine that I was selling; I'd like to get it calibrated before I put it into service myself.

I think I have seen these guys recommended before but I would like to hear some more opinions:

There is a place in Reno, NV that does calibrations on all brands TQ wrenches. They charge $45.00 + return shipping IIRC (dont hold me to that number) You can send in wrenches, pay with a CC.

Im told there arent many places that do this stuff.

Place is called Testwave. 775-356-8378 and they come back with a nice calibration report and warranty.

I have used them for 5 years now, always prompt.

Here's a good article on calibration.

Here's a "local" certification facility that we use.

There is probably a facility local to you.
