Hmmm....I was leafing through the Sears Craftsman torque wrench guide and it said in cases like this you don't have to adjust the torque setting. What to do? What to do?
43.15's section on torquing has all the formulas and when they apply. Their note says "when using a torque wrench adapter which changes the distance from the torque wrench drive to the adapter, apply the following formulas to obtain corrected torque reading.... It shows several adapters, none of which is a socket extender, which, as we all agree,doesn't change the wrench drive centerline.
So what formula would one use if one believes the socket extender would require a calculation. Because as near as I can tell,neither T, Y, L, nor E would apply.
Very confusing, indeed. EVeryone seems to know what they're tlakinga bout, but nobody seems to be saying the same thing.
Help.
