Tried a torque wrench calibration on my own for the first time

I've been putting off calibrating my 3/8 torque wrench for like 6 months lol. Finally decided to rig up a test with a weight and a measured bar in the shop yesterday. Turned out it was off by 8 ft lbs at 50 ft lbs setting, which is way worse than I thought. Anyone else found their torque wrenches drifting more than they expected?

Read somewhere that even new wrenches can be off by that much straight out the box.

Did you try testing it at different torque settings too?
