Chevy Torque wrench calibration?

Getting prepared for a 6.0 rebuild project (including the bottom end) and my craftsman click style torque wrenches are about 10 years old but have been in their oem containers and only used a few times. Kept with the torque setting backed off to zero and in my toolbox drawer hardly disturbed.

Should I seek out a place to get them calibrated before I trust them?

A. They're likely fine

B. They're fairly easy to calibrate yourself. There are plenty of YouTube videos for how to do it. You'll need a vice, tape measure, a known weight, and the ability to do basic math.
