Do I need to send a torque wrench out for calibration?

Reviewer consensus

Specialist tool-subreddit consensus is that click-type wrenches drift over time and should ideally be recalibrated every few years or after heavy use, and should always be dialed back to their lowest setting after use to preserve the spring. Digital wrenches generally hold calibration longer but still benefit from periodic verification.
