Torque Extension

[GSUwhiskers]

Hey ya'll I just realized that since the torque wrench I was using to torque the bolts on my trike was using an extension it might have affected the torque reading. Do any of yall calculate the actual torque applied if you use an extension like a 6" extension between the ratchet head and the bolt?

No, same torque value. Now if you were using say a cows foot, that would effect the leverage on the wrench which would change the torque reading but as long as you aren't effecting the torque on the rotational axis then your torque reading will be the same.
