If you add an exton to your torque wrench does it change the torque?
as long as your extension is 90 degrees from the handle it will not affect your torque wrench. if you use a super long torque wrench you may lose a little torque in the extension it self but should not affect torque. an extension affecting the wrench in lenght like a crows foot will affect torque as long as your extension is 90 degrees from the handle it will not affect your torque wrench. if you use a super long torque wrench you may lose a little torque in the extension it self but should not affect torque. an extension affecting the wrench in lenght like a crows foot will affect torque
If you add a 6 ext to your torque wrench do you have to change the torque setting?
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
Will adding an extension to a clicker type torque wrench change the applied torque?
No, although having the extension makes it easier to inadvertently hold it crooked, which can make it less accurate.
Is torque wrench a measuring device?
No, it is a device for setting torque.
What value would be indicated on the scale of a 20 inch torque wrench equipped with a 12 inch linear extension when the wrench is actually delivering 80 lb ft of torque?
M1 = M2 x L1 / L2M1 is the torque setting of the wrench.M2 is the actual torque applied to the nutL1 is the normal length of the wrenchL2 is the extended length of the wrench (Length of wrench + length of adapter)Remember... Torque = Force x Radius
Does using an extension on a torque wrench change the ability to achieve the desired torque value?
If you are just sticking a piece of pipe on the handle so you (as the user) can apply more force to the tool, no, it won't change the ability to get a desired torque on a fastner. And adding an extension between the socket and the drive head of the wrench (a so-called socket extension) to extend the reach of the tool won't negatively affect the performance of the tool, either. The tool must be used properly in either case to get accurate results, but the torque wrench's ability to deliver correct results in accordance with the settings on it won't be diminished. If the tool is the so-called beam-type torque wrench, again, no, you shouldn't have a problem as long as you work carefully.

How do you used torque wrench?
A torque wrench is like a regular wrench - but with an indicator added. This indicator will tell you when you have tightened the nut/bolt to a certain degree, either by clicking or by a dial showing a certain value. You get the required torque setting from a manual or maintenance handbook.
