Torque Wrench Question
Hey Guys,
Mounted all four new tires and rims on without a problem, but I do have a question. When i went to put tighten the lugs with the torque wrench, I needed to add an extension onto the torque wrench, otherwise I couldn't get the wrench on the lugs. My question is, with the added length, (about 12 inches with the deep socket and extension), how much does this change the the actual reading? So by adding a foot is my reading actually less than the 100# of torque on the wrench. By the way, Sears had a 1/2 drive wrench for $39.
Thanks,
Deano
