Mike,
Indeed - that is the difference! This thread started with a question on
what to do if one could not get the wrench directly onto the bolt
because of tight space. That was the concept I had in my head when I
replied to you.
Best regards

Svein,
Please have no fear at offending me as I feel this is a very good
example of a learning discussion and I appreciate your input.
Now back to the discussion, I understand your point and equations in
this discussion. My only concern is changing the setting of the torque
wrench. I feel that no matter what length spanner is added to the end of
the torque wrench, the only thing that changes is the amount of force
your hand needs to exert in order to achieve the torque wrench setting
and get the click. If a bolt needs to be torqued at 50 inch lbs, then
the torque wrench needs to be set at 50 inch lbs.
Unless you are saying that the spanner extension is on the bolt and
then the torque wrench is attached to the end of the spanner? My idea is
that the torque wrench is on the bolt. Is this the difference in our
points of view?
