I have a large lot of Snap On torquewrenches that I'd like to check before selling, and would like to but one of the Craftsman electronic torque measuring setups. Thanks!

check e-bay for OTC torque modules. They are an extention with a load cell and a converter that plugs into a standard digital multi-meter. The sets I have bought and sold were OTC and Mac. I have the Mac 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 units in the shop and use them for checking my click wrenches and to check. valve springs with my 60 year-old spring compressor.

I’ve never heard or seen of a craftsman torque tester but it is important to calibrate your torque wrench periodically. It depends on the usage but a good rule of thumb is every 6-12 months. If the usage is high then you may want to consider doing it every 3-6 months or sooner. There are a lot of torque wrenches out there so just be careful about which ones you buy. I’ve used a brand called CDI Torque Products and I’ve always been happy with the performance. There are a lot of companies out there that sell torque wrenches. There is one company www.FlexibleAssembly.com that I have used in the past and I’ve always received pretty good service and they have a decent selection of Click, Dial Indicating, and electronic torque wrenches.

They also offer torque wrench calibration in case your job requires you to have a torque wrench with certification. I’ve been into some factories where they have their own metrology labs where they do their own in-house calibration instead of outsourcing it. Torque wrenches can be calibrated and certified by using a torque tester. There are some old school versions still out there that use a dial with needle but it’s very tough to gage the accuracy of those. The latest and greatest which have actually been around a while are the digital torque testers. If done correctly you can do your own certification which can save you a lot of money in the long term. I’m all about saving money in these tough times. I’ve seen some torque testers for below a thousand dollars (which is really good!). Check out the FAQ link below…
