Talk to metrology labs that calibrate equipment then. I worked in one for a brief period, strong mechanical shocks can and do affect these. No they aren't crystal stemware delicate, but they aren't impervious either.
Some types are more sensitive than others.
And if you read the warranty....thats against actual breakage.....not calibration. Two unrelated issues.
You won't see an aircraft mechanic using a torque wrench he picked up at a yard sale. But if you are working on a lawnmower, ballparking it by feel is close enough to not cause issues. How much do you care about what the wrench says vs what it really might be?
