Vintage Snap-On Torqometer 150

[amp281]

Got this vintage torque wrench from my father. As the thread title says, its the SnapOn torqometer 150. Can this thing be calibrated? Do you guys think its still accurate? I torqued a few bolts with another torque wrench and then with the snap-on and it was similar. The torqometer has a dial on its gauge that calibrates it to zero. The "zero" position is no longer original based on the box (original box!) photo. I'll get pictures up in a few.

Thanks.

You can send it in and Snap On will re calibrate it. I had one that needed the bezel replaced, $60 for the parts and re cal.

Okay, they will even do them that old huh? its a beautiful tool. The only flaw is the name of a prior owner carved on one side. The top of it has a mirror finish. I think it dates to the 60's.
