Hey guys, hopefully this isn't too newbie of a question. I have a Snap-on TE 175 Torqometer. It is the kind with the needle where you can turn the dial to your desired torque or leave it at zero. Anyway, I had it recalibrated not too long ago and now the needle doesn't point up and down anymore, it is off center to about 20 ft. lbs. Of course I can turn the dial to "zero it out" and torque from there, but is that accurate? Anyone else have this wrench and experience this? Just wanted to know if it is still accurate or if there is a problem. I called a local dealer and he doesn't seem to think anything is wrong, but he may just not want to deal with me.

Thanks for the help guys, but my problem is it was about a year ago that it was recalibrated. I said "not too long ago" because I don't use it that much. I also had a friend give it to the dealer because I don't have regular contact with one, AND that dealer no longer works for Snap-on. The dealer I just talked to said the repair warranty is only 90 days.
I was just hoping someone else had this wrench and had experienced this before.

I agree, it would have been best to send it back right away. Soon after I got it fixed, it was only slightly off center, so I didn't worry about it. It was just recently that it was more drastic. I understand taking care of those who spend money with you - I am not one of those for Snap-on tools
