I got a different type of torque wrench the other day. It goes between the socket and 3/4 inch rachet and has a digital display. No idea how accurate it is .
It was 160 when i bought it

have given some thought as to their use at the top end of an extension and can't see that it'd be an issue as the same torque would be transferred down the length of the bar - I think?
--- 's an interesting conundrum

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
I think the extension would twist to a degreehave given some thought as to their use at the top end of an extension and can't see that it'd be an issue as the same torque would be transferred down the length of the bar - I think?
so wouldn’t give a true reading maybe

's what I'm trying to decide, but'd need the same level of torque to do that - can't get my head around it TBHI think the extension would twist to a degree

Definitely. Low torque it’s negligible but when you start pulling 200+ Nm on foot of 1/2” extension it does make a difference. We tried it at work to settle a discussion. It’s when you’re getting near to the point where the extension physically can’t handle the torque and is getting towards its elastic limit.I think the extension would twist to a degree

was thinking more along the lines of a stumpy 2" or 3" extension to get the unit away from the socket ... a 12" would without doubt flex big time
