That's a good practice. I have two of the Harbor Freight torque wrenches people claim are junk. Measured them against my brothers expensive torque wrench and no diff in measuring. His clicks at 20 ft lbs mine licks at 20 ft lbs. same at 30 , 40 and 50. The difference is I only use mine a couple times a year for a nut or two, and not everyday as a professional mechanic might.
