   - **Remove the nut on the end of the handle**.
   - **Adjust the tension on the handle sleeve**.
     * Basically this sets the point at which tension begins in relation to the handle sleeve. 
     * Hold the sleeve with one hand and turn the threaded bushing on the end clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the tensionthe click point. \\ (you 'll may have to turn the lock screw on the end periodically to keep it loose)  
   - **After you've turned the bushing in/out a little, put turn the wrench back together and tighten sleeve to the nut on the endtest setting**. 
     * The bushing should turn with the sleeve with the threads not moving in the sleeve. 
   - **Perform the calibration check above to see where the wrench clicks now**.
   - **Repeat this calibration procedure until you get the wrench to click on the length mark as in the test check above**.
   - **Once done, install the nut on the end**.
     *  Be careful not to allow the end nut to turn the bushing in the sleeve while tightening. \\ That would change wrench calibration.
   - **Once the wrench is back together, bushing tight, do a final calibration check**.
     * Tightening the nut on the end can throw calibration off. It just needs to be tight enough stay put.

 On the test wrench, the bushing was turned counterclockwise clockwise originally and the wrench clicked even farther toward the handle end once tested. \\ 
 Subsequent adjustments and tests with the bushing turned clockwise counterclockwise put the test wrench back into calibration (as well as this test will do anyway).
