<VV> Torque Wrench

[Marc Sheridan]

The November issue of Auto Restorer magazine has an article on building 
a torque wrench tester using an old clutch slave cylinder and a guage. 
The author states that most of the clicker type wrenches he has tested 
with his home made tester were about 5-10 pounds off. He also says the 
wrenches are  easy to calibrate, once you find the screw in the handle 
that adjusts the spring tension.
