It's ok all.... I think I have made my point, so I will get back on topic. Let's not shut it down.:roadkill:

if we're gonna keep it open, i'll get us back on topic by saying that those torque adapters (extensions, whatever you wanna call them) are wicked expensive. basically a long crows foot wrench.
Crows feet are expensive too...

They can get expensive for sure. I prefer the boxed end ones as seen in the photo I posted. The crow-foot type tend to want to strip the bolt head at any torque above 50 lb-ft.

In regards to the loss of torque through "twisting of the extension" this has more to do with the quality/type of the material the extension is made of if I remember right. A Torsion Bar on a older pick-up is a different steel designed to twist easily and retain its original shape vs. a typical Chrome Vanadium (IIRC that's what most hand tools are made of), the tool steel is not as flexible as the spring steel is and would more than likely begin to fracture I believe... I could be wrong though. Impact sockets and extensions are actually softer to prevent fracturing from repeated impact use, hence why we are told not to use "hand tool" sockets for impact use.
We don't use those torque extensions too much, but we have a few SST versions for Toyota applications.
