Be careful of the Sears one....we have returned (and this is no lie).....6
of them for clicking at wierd times and the salesmen all said....."Guess
you don't know how to use them".   Talking to us racers like that is
pretty bad....

To calibrate.....get a cheap wishbone one that you move to the correct
torque.  Get an adapter to connect both.....see how far you are off.  You
may find you are within 10%.  If you are, don't spend the money for the
calibration of the Sears one.  

Suggestion.....go to True Value and get one of their expensive Master
Mechanic ones or get one from the Mac tool guy or Snap On.
