I'm with Thomas on this one.  What was in your original e-mail was notion of
intent to purchase (borrow) a tool for the sake of calibrating another,
quite a bit different from what you've written above.  Gee, reading the
above, it almost seems like your intent is to actually purchase a second
torque wrench..

As for calibration, yes, you could spend the time you've been spending
driving back and forth to Sears and look in the yellow pages instead, or do
a quick Google search.  Amazing what might turn up.
