what if they are both BAD du best advice is pull this video I agree when you said another way but it is NOT another way it is the best way you NEED to have a torque calibration fixture to do this RIGHT all other ways are good a guess at the best hope you are not missleading people on other things TOO
This is wrong. If bolt is torqued to anything greater than 75 ft/lbs and the second will still click at 75 even if the bolt is torqued to 150 ft/lbs. You could produce the same result by clamping your wrench in a vise and pullong til it clicks.
I just brought torque wrench so I'm not sure how do I set it as my harley manual book said for clutch seal plate with 84 in.- 108 lbs. so which shld I set on?
OK lets assume that wrench #1 is correctly calibrated and tightens the bolt to 75 Ft.lb. Now the second wrench is set for 75Ft.lb but actually will click at 60 Ft.lb.
Using this as a test will not disclose that error.
Now assume that Wrench number two is set for 75 Ft.lb. but clicks at 85 Ft.lb.
Are you going to be able to tell the difference with your bare hands? (If you could you wouldn't need a torque wrench.)
Another method is to get an Alltrade Digital Torque Adapter, which is fairly inexpensive, and is designed to measure the torque applied by your wrenches.
If your torque wrench is off, you can either calibrate it or just apply the correction to your setting to get the right torque value.
This method will not work , even if you have the known good wrench. After the first wrench tightens it, the second wrench will always click without moving the nut any further, unless it's really far off and applies a higher torque than the target..
Instead, you might torque the nut with your reference wrench, and then place a mark on the nut to the fixed point on the vise. Then loosen it up again, and use your second wrench to torque it. Compare the marks on the nut to see if.they match-
The only way you should have it done is checked on a know good TORQUE TESTER the comperson of one wrench to another is VERY inaccurate pay to have it done RIGHT

This is just wrong, you can not test a wrench against a nut that has been pre-tensioned.

Your method would not disclose that error either.

I have an electronic torque angle meter. Does these ever go out of range? Its a kent-moore j36660 used for gm engine assembly.

@gst69man YES it can that is why they have to be recalibrated
