Portable torque wrench calibration drifted after a drop

I knocked my torque wrench off the workbench last Tuesday and didn't think much of it. Next day I torqued a carbon seatpost clamp to spec and it creaked, so I checked with my beam wrench and found it was off by 4 Nm. Lesson learned, I'll never trust a dropped torque wrench again without testing it first. Has anyone else had a similar issue with a digital vs beam wrench mismatch?

Four Nm on a seatpost is nothing, just snug it tighter.
