Hmm
I may have to acquire one of those. It states +/- 2% accuracy. I have access to a metrology/calibration lab at my work. I might have to pay our calibration guy a visit and buy him lunch and have him put that thing on his test rig.

Problem with it is the minimum torque is 40 Nm...lot's of things, especially delicate ones require less torque than that. Otherwise pretty cool.

I have a Powerbuilt version of that HF torque adapter. I don't use it for any jobs, but only to check how accurate my torque wrenches are. If I see they are off, I will send it in for calibration.
