Sorry Gil, I guess I assumed a 12-point socket cause that's what I've got. You're right, a 6-pointer won't work.

Try an 8 point socket that fits the wrench(s)

Send it in for calibration!
It is not that expesive if you know where to go.
If you have a quality Torque Wrench, it will pass each year its calibrated for many years.
I use Brylen Technologies in southern California.

The answer is yes. I spot mine this way.
2 torques wrenches each with a socket.
1 short bolt
1 nut
bolt +nut goes into the sockets
apply torque
I use my beam type to spot check that the clicker is doing what I expect it to.

Second that. Really, it's only like $25 every few years to have it *properly* calibrated and certified.
There's a right way to do some things...

For the wrenches that measue foot-pounds (pounds-feet actually, right?), this may not be as significant, but the YouTube calibration procedure didn't take into account the moment caused by the weight of the torque wrench arm. Could easily put the measurement off by 10-20 inch-pounds.
