Answer A torque wrench has a gage which indicates the amount of twisting pressure (torque) applied as the fastener is tightened. This ensures the proper amount of torque and consistency and is meant to prevent over- or under-tightening of the fastener
great answer! often used on car tires
A torque wrench is a wrench that indicates when you have reached a certain level of foot/pound pressure on the bolt or nut. There are various kinds, the simplest having a lever pointing at a metal strip. More expensive ones can have the torque set on a knob, and they slip after reaching that point.
It's a socket that fits on a torque wrench. Ususally it's just a regular socket. A torque wrench is a wrench with a mechanism built into it that allows you to exert an exact amount of rotational force ("torque") on a fastener so that it's tight enough to work but not so tight it might break.
A torque screwdriver is designed to slip once the required pressure has been reached. The idea is that a screw will not be over-tightened and cause damage to the items being screwed together. A torque spanner ensures that the bolts holding the head on an engine is not overtightened, as over-tightening could cause distortion of the head and head-gasket.
The socket wrench is one among the system of wrenches that departs the wrench handle from the wrench that engages the fastener. Whereas, the torque wrench are the torque indicating socket wrench handle. When it is used properly, that could help you calculate the torque amount while fastening using the wrench. It also limits the amount of torque which is applied on material.
it is an Allen wrench not a TORX socket

If it has the hex bolts, find a hex wrench that is the right size, cut the wrench approx 2 inches long and find a socket that fits the hex. You can attach your torque wrench to the socket. Been there did that.
If you use a 16mm socket is about 63nm. If it's a 17mm socket you're using is 80nm
Don't know what you mean by "set up". Torque wrenches come ready to use. Attach a socket and go to it.
A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms
With a socket set and a bit of time
Yes, but you run the risk of stripping the head. For high strength, torque, always use a 6-point socket.
36mm socket with torque around 152-203 ft-lb
Mk1 Focus Euro spec (not US), rear hub nut, the big one in the middle, 29mm socket, torque to 235Nm
as long as the extension is perpendicular to te wrench it will not affect the torque. if your extension makes your torue wrench longer or shorter this will give you more leverage and will give you less torque than desired more leverage vice versa if extension is lower than socket drive. if its sticking straight out you will be fine as long as the extension is perpendicular to te wrench it will not affect the torque. if your extension makes your torue wrench longer or shorter this will give you more leverage and will give you less torque than desired more leverage vice versa if extension is lower than socket drive. if its sticking straight out you will be fine
