The might depend on whether he/she is working in a FAA-approved repair station or not. In any case, aircraft mechanics are just like everyone else; qualifications and professionalism are two unrelated issues. In any case, it's the rare aircraft mechanic who actually uses a torque wrench on every fastener that has a torque specification.

Gee......90 whole days......that leaves what? 30 or 40+ years of perfectly useful life after that runs out without a warranty on the calibration? Do you return it to the store after you use it each time and buy a new one when you need it next? Or do you get it checked every 5 or ten years just to make sure its even remotely accurate? I've had mine for roughly 35 years now....I have it checked every 5 or so years when I think about it....it still looks and works like new. And I can be sure its accurate.
