Where would I get it calibrated?Ever had it calibrated?
I have a 1/4" Harbor Freight that I lost faith in. Probably cheaper to just replace it...

sure is...calibrating isn't worth it unless it's a high-end torque wrench.Where would I get it calibrated?

aaronc7 we have the same vice and the same fan. Pretty sure you are my garage brother from another mother.Pretty sure I took a picture of it....lol
I used the highly advanced technique of hanging something of known weight at a distance of 1 foot or whatever distance it was. My big torque wrench was spot on (at least for how precise i could realistically expect my test to be). The other torque wrench was way off and changing the adjustment on it did basically nothing, so i threw it in the trash. Obviously not a real calibration, but a good sanity check nonetheless.

That's Right manTekton is actually a good company, they're very under rated.
I've had a set of their 1/2" and 3/8" impact sockets for a few years and they're great. Only complaint is the painted socket sizes wear off the side fast, had to notch the sizes in them with a dremelMechanic here, I have 1/4in Tekton I use daily, no issues at all. Also have a few of their impact sockets. Absolutely no complaints on any of their tools. Would only recommend an expensive digital torque wrench if you're consistently doing head jobs and various precise work. Otherwise for the DIY, weekend project guy, using it for wheels or whatever else, Tekton or cheaper is fine.
