Just wondered.

Had access to a table torque wrench checker and found that a britool torque wrench( I had ) was a third under reading. The cost to rebuild was more than a new torque wrench from Halfords professional range.
Wondered if you had tested yours as I feel that you have stored correctly and wondered how this helped keep the wrench in spec.

I checked three torque wrenches at work recently. The VAR analog one was over 10% out, the 2 Topeak digital ones were spot on. This was using the ‘clamp the head in a vise and add mass’ method. I have no idea how old or well used they are.

That method has been explained to me, but having access to digital calibration stuff that are 1 per cent, is how I found my no idea how old britool stuff was out. But cheap Halfords ones and Lidl ones seem fine within 4 percent.
