Something that I was always taught as an apprentice and still do is wind the torque wrench off after I have finished using it.
I have a couple of 1/2 drive Norbar torque wrenches which were prizes I was awarded during my apprenticeship and find these good to use. These I know came with calibration certificates.
I do have a big, battered 3/4" drive one for doing wheel nuts on the bus, don't know where I picked it up but obviously been abused as the calibration scale is off but when I need to use it I take it into work and set up on our torque analyser and mark it, as the setting seems consistently off through the range.
