I use my beam to calibrate my click wrenches.

That being said, the click wrench is great because all you do is set the torque and wait for the click. The beam wrench, you have to look at the scale and well, its a pain unless the fastener is really out in the open.
That is a great idea. I can make sure that my click torque wrench is accurate by using my park wrench.

But... How do you do that? How do you calibrate a torque wrench?
