I found this video about checking cals on thermometers and thought some might find it interesting.

As a Chef I wish my Team would use this method. It is perfect! It just takes a bit longer to get the readings on dial thermometers. Most dial thermometer cases (straw looking sleeves they are stored in) have a built in tool to adjust them. If not you can use a pair of pliers to adjust it. Be careful, you do not need to turn it much for the adjustments. I check all of my thermometers before use to make sure they are accurate and work.

When my current thermometer gives out I think I'm going to get me a thermapen.  I have learned too many lessons before about the value of quality tools.
