Torque wrench

I've got a really nice lookin snap-on torque wrench that my father bought when he was a mechanic. Its in great shape but needs to be recallibrated. Where can I go to do this and how much would you suspect it would cost?

Sending it through snap on would definatly be the best way to do it, might cost you abit though.

N7ghtwolf-

Is the Olathe Boot Company still around?
I used to stop in there when the National FFA Convention was still in Kansas City, Mo.
I took my students on tours there and they really liked it.
I've owned a couple of pairs of their boots and they gave me many years of comfortable and durable wear.
Haven't been there in probably a little over 10 years and I miss it!

The Olathe Boot store has been a Chux Trucks for a few years. The closest retailer that sales Olathe Boot products is in Emporia.

Lifetime guarantee does not cover calibration, as it's actually a rountine maintenence rather than being broken.
