I use them every day and have them calibrated once a year. They are seldom very far off. Seems the 3/4" drive and 1" drive ones are the worst. But I'm really rough on them too. They get dropped ocassionaly, banged into stuff, and see thousands of miles a year riding around in a utility box on a truck.

I imagine using them gently to torque barrel nuts and even building twenty or so a year probably wouldn't be much need for any calibration for many years.

Just my two cents.

I realize everyone has a different level of OCD about stuff.
