Why do socket extensions lose torque?

Socket extensions can lose torque due to the added length, which can cause flexing and thus reduce the amount of force being transferred to the fastener. Using multiple extensions can further exacerbate this issue. Additionally, wear and tear on the extension can also contribute to torque loss over time.


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.


What is a weighted socket and how does it differ from a regular socket?

A weighted socket is a type of socket that has additional weight added to it, usually to provide more stability or durability. This extra weight can help prevent the socket from moving or shifting during use. In contrast, a regular socket does not have this added weight and may be lighter and less stable.


What is the function of the 3 wires in a socket.?

One wire usually connected to the right side of us in the socket is the 'live' or 'phase' or 'hot'. The colour of this will be usually RED. The other one usually Black in colour will be connected to the left side to us and named as neutral. The third wire green in colour will be the earth wire which will be at the top of the socket. This is the safe guarding connection. If anything goes wrong especially in washing machine, wet grinder etc giving shock then immediately fuse would get blown and thus the motor as well as human life would be saved.
