No, it's like old Ray-gun said...trust and verify. I check with a fixture using actual weights. but a digital scale is nice too. Check twice? Sometimes. I got a digital scale to 880 lbs that hangs on a hoist... all machine have death wish, never trust 'em.
I've been a mechanic since '68. About 40 yrs of that was an aircraft mechanic where you used a torque wrench on about everything. My "guesses" are usually with a few pounds of being correct. I've had torque wrenches that didn't "feel" right.... in which case I'd trust my own "guess."
The salient part is 10.50 onwards, for those who have high-dollar wrenches, and even more importantly for us cheapskates.
Earlier, the diy calibration part is good enough for home wrenching.
