Engine builders, where do you take/send your tq wrenches for calibration? And more specifically Snap-On.

 

wanting to find this out also. And what is the price ?

 

Send them back to Snap-on.

 

http://www.teamtorque.com seems to be one of the main companies that the performs these services. They quoted $73 (including shipping) to calibrate my 3/8" Snap-On.

What do they charge?

 

search on google or call the manufacture for your torque wrench to send it back to them.....

 

It may be diffrent cause I am from canada, but I gave my snap on 3/8" and 1/2" to my mac dealer (snap on guy is a douche) and he had them done for 60 each.

hope that helps, if nothing else, just ask your snap on rep or ask anyone at a machine shop, they should know where you can have them sent out.

I should also mention that they are both micrometer style, not digital.

 

Kinda OT, but to anyone who has/used a techwrench, is it worth spending the extra money for a digital one? I know they have close tolerances, but is it really worth the extra money to have a digital one as oppoed to a high end standard type?

The other guy already covered that, but my close friend usually gives his back to Snap-On and if I remember correctly he usually recalibrates it for free. I personally use craftman torque wrenches. I'm not ballin enough yet to spend $250 on a digital Snap-on.

Actuially, he said DIGITAL, so he is looking at 350 minimum, and thats for a very limited one

Even my micrometer style cost me 300 for my 3/8" but you gotta pay to get the good stuff. no point to waste money on a crappy torque wrench when you can just crank it on by hand, its the same diffrence.
