Found out my torque wrench was 35 ft-lbs off after a calibration check last Friday

I brought it into the shop for a routine service and the guy showed me the reading on his machine, I had been over-torquing injector hold-downs for probably 6 months without knowing it. Has anyone else ever had a calibration surprise that made you question all your previous work?

Bro that's rough, same thing happened to me with my beam style wrench last year - was torquing heads to 85 when it was actually reading 70 the whole time. Still paranoid about every bolt I've touched since then lol.

Check the calibration date @the_elliot, bet it was your shop's fault not the tool.
