Hi, there is a hex nut that holds the stem to the dial. I measured it, and it is 11mm. That is an unusual metric size. An adjustable wrench would work perfectly. The nut isn't very tight, so pliers would work OK.You would of course need an accurate thermometer to set it to.Boiling water is OK if you live close to sea level. At 3000 ft altitude, water boils at 206 degrees F.At Denver (mile high), water boils at 202 degrees.My thermometer did not come with a wrench. That would be a good idea.Mine was set close enough for cooking, maybe not for lab work.

No, There is no way to calabrate it. Inorder to do so you would need a series of know control set temperetures and away to adjust the thermometer. I am sure this is done at the factory. hope this answered your question.

A small phillips head screwdriver. If that doesnt work you may have a stripped screw.

All I used were two adjustable wrenches, a rubber mallet, and a utility knife. Others say they needed screwdrivers but in my kit, all the parts that needed to be screwed together were already pre-assembled.

"Standards" solutions can be purchased from Amazon or other chemical supply stores. There is a manual that comes with the meter that describes how to recalibrate the instrument using the standards.

Hello Sukha, Thank you for asking your question. I just spoke with Kaz, the company which manufacturers this Vicks thermometer. Their suggestion was to use with a penny or quarter to attempt to unscrew the area to replace the battery, or use a different width of screwdriver. If those suggestions don't work for you, please call Support at the Kaz Company at 1-800-541-8001. This thermometer has a lifetime warranty and they will take care of you. When you have additional questions, we're happy to assist you:) Thank you for shopping with Amazon. All the best.

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. ChefAlarm by ThermoWorks - (Red)

A regular adjustment tool... If you don't ave that you can use a small screwdriver and a pair of needle nose plyers

I dropped this thermometer by accident and was not able to take very many readings with it before discarding. I do not have it anymore. Tried to solder it first with no luck.

None that I can remember. The tool fell apart the second time I tried to use it. I do NOT recommend this product.

Yes, a hairdryer will work, but it will take much longer, which isn't a bad thing for the first time repair. Not truly necessary but both a heat gun and non-contact thermometer make the replacement process less guess work, less stressful for the novice. Watch a bunch of the YouTube videos using hairdryers, most people use touch, in lieu of a thermometer. Do not get impatient and absolutely do not pry without it being up to temp, resist that urge totally. Be ready for the digitizer/screen to get scratched, it happens even if you've done a hundred repairs. Repeat after me... Slow and careful. Not bomb disposal, slow and careful but close to it. At least until you've done a few, after you understand the process, your limits and skills.

Phillips head screwdrivers, one large one medium and a hammer. I also used a rubber mallet for a couple of pieces that slide together but a hammer and wood block would work too.

Unfortunately I no longer have that thermometer, it never worked properly so I threw it out. Sorry about that.

There's a dial that goes, I think, from 1 to 20. It doesn't give measurements. I suppose one would have to test, perhaps by torquing a screw with a calibrated wrench and then seeing if the driver will unscrew it.
