The fastest way to stuff a torque wrench is to use it in the reverse direction (or as a hammer).
Even those with the ratchet head produce a different torque when operating in reverse. The tool cabinets I look after at work have 30 odd torque wrenches between them, ranging from screwdriver types to 600ftlb monsters. Brands include Snapon, Norbar and W & B.
We have an electronic torque testing setup with assorted load cells that we use to test each one on a monthly basis.
If you want your torque wrench checked out and possibly re-caled, send me a PM.

They are one of the few brands that I could find that are actually calibrated and certified, come in appropriate size ranges and are affordable.
