A recent Kitplanes had an article called:
"Can You Calibrate Your Hand?"
where the author - Jon Croke - mentions a "Digital Torque Adapter" which can be used to tighten a fastener to a specific torque value. It goes between the fastener and a regular wrench.
See thumbnail.
Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they accurate enough? Do they have to be calibrated every year?
I have a torque wrench but I haven't had it calibrated in years because I haven't used it in years. So it's probably out of cal.
I've needed one more re4cently but of course I have to get it re-cal'd.
It costs $100 around here to get it re-calibrated. If this torque adapter can do the job I may get one.
Opinions welcome.
