What happens here

The presenter attempts to calibrate the problematic torque meter by comparing its readings to a traditional click-style torque wrench. He sets the digital torque meter to measure in inch-pounds, as per typical manufacturers' specifications. Driving lag bolts into wood, the Milwaukee impact driver measures only 210 inch-pounds, which is surprisingly low. The test confirms the digital torque meter's inaccuracies and general unreliability.

Goal: Calibrate and finally assess the digital torque meter's accuracy.
