Since I have more than one torque wrench, do you think I can test them against each other by putting one on each end of a single two-headed bolt made up by joining two large bolts tail to tail?

If that is a Harbor Freight torque wrench, they are accurate to about +/- 5%. We calibrated Chris' (NeverSayNever) torque wrenches using a fishing scale and they were within the 5% range. Accuracy seems to decrease more at the outer range of the scale.
