I have two torque wrenches - a Craftsman bending rod type and $30 unbranded clicker type (I got it from some online store long time ago). I occasionally cross check them by using a square socket that lets me connect the two heads. Connect the two at 90-degree and start squeezing. Read the torque on the bend-type when the clicker clicks. Mine was about 10% different - although I am not sure which was reading the better value. If you have a calibration screw on the clicker you can set it using this procedure, I guess.
