Is my torque wrench toast? 700

Hi All:

I lended my torque wrench to a friend who needed to torque her lug nuts. Unfortunately, I forgot to tell her not to use it for loosening them, which she did. They must have been about 70 to 80 lbs/ft.

Has the wrench been damaged as a result?

I understand that putting the dial on zero would have reduced the risk, but she didn't.

TIA
