Myth that socket extensions change torque wrench readings

I've worked on automotives for decades. Both professionally, and now, hobby wise. Have never experienced that, and don't buy it.

Universals, yes. Simple extensions, no.

If there is any inaccuracy, it will be minor, and likely within the margin of error of the instrument anyways.

Here's an interesting article from Hot Rod Magazine about torque wrench myths and truths.
