Myth that socket extensions change torque wrench readings

Hunting Dog,
Thought you had previously disqualified yourself.

Don't know how we got to this crowfoot situation, but the angle of the crowfoot makes all the difference, because it changes the moment arm length, which is the distance from wherever the sensor is on the wrench handle to the target load, which is the nut or bolt. Of course, this distance changes every time the wrench ratchets.
