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

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
How do you use the torque degree gauge add on tool?
A torque angle gauge is used mainly on torque to yield fasteners. T.Y. fasteners are 1 time use only. They usually have an initial torque setting and second torque setting and then an angle,(for example 30ft-lbs., 60 ft-lbs. then 90degrees). After the second torqueing you sent the angle gauge to 0 and turn to 90 or what every degree is required.
How do you use a torque wrench?
Why Use a Torque Wrench?A bolt sitting on your workbench is at rest regardless of whether it is made of metal or rubber. When you install the bolt in an application and begin to tighten it with a wrench it begins to stretch and load up a force along its length. Just like a rubber bolt, if you tighten a metal bolt too much it will break the bolt (or damage the application), but if it's not tight enough it will not have the proper preload to hold the application together. You could just tighten up the bolt as much as you can, but in most cases an engineer has calculated how much "give" should be between the bolted surfaces to assure minimal wear and maximum application life in whatever bumpy, cyclic environment the bolt is designed to be used. The answer to achieving the proper amount of preload is to use a torque wrench, and just as importantly to use it correctly. You don't. If you want to do it right you need a torque wrench. It is more important than people think to torque fasteners properly.+++It is - you can do a lot of damage with incorrect or uneven tightening. If a proper torque-wrench is unavailable it is sometimes possible to use a strong spring-balance on the handle of a standard socket-set, and use the standard formula relating tension, length and torque, but that is potentially inaccurate it's far, far better to use the correct tool!ALL of the above comments are absolutely correct- I would add only that just offhand I can think of 2 common applications on cars where use of a torque wrench is essential -Cylinder head bolts and trans pan bolts.

How many inches on torque wrench equals 44 pounds?
if you want to put 44 lbsf - ft of torque on a nut, the force on the lever (lbs) * the distance from the nut centre (feet) should = 44, any combination of force and lever length will do, as long as the product is 44 . examples: . 3 foot lever * ? (lbsf)= 44 44 / 3 = 14.67 lbsf . ? foot lever * 15 lbsf = 44 44 / 15 = 2.93 foot lever . it doesnt matter where you hold the torque wrench though, you could add six feet of pipe to it, but if its set to 44 lbsf - ft, it will still click at the correct torque
How do you add more torque?
by tuning/upgrading your engine.
