Installing Strut Brace
I was going to buy a 2nd hand torque wrench but you dont know if it has been abused ie used by steve to losen nuts etc etc...
I hear that wb has a place where you can go and calibrate the wrench if you drop and abuse it etc.

This is true.
I found out the hard way.
Right before Sandown, had to pull the whole strut out!
