A couple of torque wrench tips, always set them to zero when job finished,never put them away loaded, if using a snap type always apply the pressure gently, do not jerk it like you would with a socket/ ratchet, The accuracy can be checked as mentioned above with weights and a ruler or by just using another torque wrench.
I can recommend Norbar, we used a pair of small 1/2 inch drive ratchet wrenches set to 35 ft,lbs to build radio masts, with over 500 bolts per mast and building 100s of masts they really got a hammering, they even got dropped a couple of times a 100ft or so onto grass but still worked fine.
