Just realized my torque wrench was off by 12 ft-lbs after a Cummins rebuild went sideways in Atlanta
I was torquing head bolts on a 6.7 ISB outside a shop in Buckhead and the engine dumped coolant everywhere, turned out my Snap-on wrench was clunking at 85 when it should've been 97, has anyone else had their calibration drift without noticing?

Snap-on drift is real. Send it back to them.

Right, sending it back just because of a little drift is overkill. Any controller with analog sticks is gonna develop some play after enough hours, that's just the nature of the hardware. People expect mechanical perfection from a plastic tool that gets banged around in a toolbox and used daily. If you aren't seeing it drastically affecting your work, just knock the dust out and keep using it, don't feed into the hype that every minor imperfection is a warranty claim.
