Torque Wrench Calibration Log
Torque Wrench Calibration Log for hangars and shops — structured entries with due badges and the audit trail tool-control programs require.
Torque wrenches drift with use and abuse — dropped once or stored wound-up, a clicker can read 10% off while feeling perfectly normal.

About Torque Wrench Calibration Log
Torque wrenches drift with use and abuse — dropped once or stored wound-up, a clicker can read 10% off while feeling perfectly normal. Background: torque wrenches are the most-used calibrated tool in any hangar: calibration commonly runs annually or per a use count, verification between calibrations catches drift, and storage discipline (wound down, not dropped) preserves accuracy. Run it here: thirty-second entries, conspicuous badges, CSV out. Tool-control and shelf-life discipline are systems, and systems live in records.

Frequently asked questions
How often do torque wrenches need calibration and what degrades them?+
Common practice: every 12 months or a manufacturer-specified click count, whichever first — plus immediately after any drop or suspect reading. The degraders are mundane: storing a clicker wound to a setting (spring set), using it as a breaker bar, drops, and extreme temperature swings. The as-found/as-left record matters: a wrench found 8% out at calibration throws doubt over a year of torque values, which is precisely the conversation the log lets you have with dates instead of dread.
Is this level of discipline worth it for a small hangar?+
The discipline scales down better than the alternative: one out-of-cal torque value, one lost tool's grounding search, or one insurance claim against an unitemised inventory each cost more than years of thirty-second entries. Small operations skip the systems because nobody requires them — then meet the requirement retroactively, at incident prices. The board is the cheap version of that lesson.
Do I need an account or internet connection?+
No account and no connection are needed once the page has loaded — records live in local storage on your device and every calculation runs in your browser. Data doesn't sync between devices, so export the CSV when you want to move or archive your records.
How do I back up or print these records?+
Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full shop record as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your records folder, or import it into any other system. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
