Re: AMC related?

I know that both Snap On and MAC reclibrate torque wrenches all the time. I never had Craftsman torque wrench that I wanted to get recalibrated so I don't know where to get it done. But I'd start by asking at Sears if they can have it done, Then Ask Snap On and MAC
I'm thinking if its a good quality wrench you should be able to get it done for less then a new one. My two Snap On torque wrenches cost me an arm and a leg back in the 80's when I bought them! I know they where so freakin expensive I had to make payments on them!
