Jason,
if you do torque tools calibrations, you must, by procedure, follow ISO 6789 and therefore, should be familiar with basic provisions of this document, related paperwork and how certificate of calibration should look like. Obviously, there is no need to post it here, as it would take lots of space, and, as you know well, any ISO document is really boring to read for anybody who is not deeply involved, by occupation, into this kind of stuff. Here is, however, a hint for you - certificate of calibration included, for example, with Wheeler FAT wrench does not comply at all with ISO 6789 requirements, and, therefore, from both legal and technical point of view, is not a valid certificate of calibration or even, validation of the tool. Does not mean Wheeler FAT wrench is somehow all that bad, just means that attached paperwork is no good and is not proving anything about the tool itself by just being included with the tool.
What is the specific, in your opinion, criteria for "cheap wrenches" to be really that bad that they should be pitched in a trash?
I do feel you have certain knowledge related to torque tools calibration, and agree with some of your statements, that's why I'm interested in what you got to say...
