Frequency of calibration is a matter of debate and personal choice, but I don't think the answer is "always unwind and never calibrate" ... As far as "use", it's ONE smooth slow stroke until click. Done. No check clicks plus some angel's share torque... | |

Wrenches will be least accurate at the ends of their range, so choose a size that has your torque value as near the middle as possible | |
