Realized my spoke tension gauge was off after 2 years

Last week I was truing a wheel on a customer's old touring bike and kept getting weird readings. Double checked against my Park Tool gauge and the difference was wild, probably 15kgf off on every spoke. I think I dropped it on the concrete floor of my garage back in 2021 and never recalibrated. Has anyone else had one of these go out of whack from a simple drop?

Double checked against my Park Tool gauge" - maybe that one's the problem, not yours.

Trusting a cheap gauge over Park Tool is pretty bold. Might want to double check that thing first.
