Ouch. I guess you get taxed heavily for living down under!
A little like the extra cost to live in San Diego.

I did a little searching on the web and a few sites that did testing said the HF digital TW adaptor is very accurate and can be used to check the accuracy of another TW. Foe $30 its probably a good investment regardless if you spend $10 or $1000 on a TW.

I guess you could set your TW to what you want and then check and adjust with the digital adaptor. That way each time you use it, you can set it to the correct torque regardless of what the handle says.
