    I got a 1\2 snap on torque wrench. I need to calibrate it because last time it was calibrated was in 2002. where could I do it in the cities?
    unless someone here can do it, I would appreciate it.

    it's a used one, so I don't really know how much and how has been used. I just wanna make sure I work with a tool that works well. I'll give snapon a call, I heard at times they should do it for free.

    They won't do it for free unless your the original owner. At least that's what I understand to be correct. Our Snap-On guy is Gary Couch. He pretty much is the best tool vendor we've had. I miss having a Matco vendor though, they have great tools at very decent prices.

    Most of the tool trucks have a gauge mounted in them that you can use to check how accurate it is. I have been told its around $40 to have it calibrated.
