[Shop-talk] torque wrench calilbration

[Bob Spidell]

Check your local yellow pages under 'scientific,' 'laboratories,' 'calibration,' etc.

Also, if you have a general aviation airport nearby call the Fixed Base Operator ('FBO') or flight school.  Torque 
wrenches used on aircraft have to be calibrated regularly--once a year, I think--and an Airframe & Powerplant ('A&P') 
mechanic would know where to get it done.

Last I checked it cost about $25.
