Im a bit puzzled here.



Whilst I can see how the device works it occurrs to me that increasing the 

distance of the torque measuring device from the bolt centre will affect the 

actual torque applied to the bolt head. Surely there has to be an adjustment 

in the setting to compensate for this.



Unless I am much mistaken, the longer the adapter arm, the less force will 

be needed to make the torque wrench click (you know what I mean). If the 

torque wrench is set to the reccommended setting, the likelyhood is that the 

bolt will be over tightened or even possibly stripped.



PS: I have said bolts when I mean nuts.



Perhaps someone can point out the error of my thinking.
