I want to check my torque wrench to see if it is accurate.
A friend told me that if I clamp the square end of the wrench
in a vice sticking out level and hang 30 lbs. on the arm a foot
out from the center of the square end the torque wrench should
read 30 foot lbs. torque. Is this right?
Torque wrench check?

In theory this is correct. No reason why it shouldn't work.
Sorry I miss read the post.. So it's a deflection type? Then yeah it should work fine
