I was taught never to double click a torque wrench or snatch on the handle slow and steady pull

I was taught many years ago in AF tech school that extensions don't change the torque value, offsets do. As long as you are at a 90 degree angle to the fastener, you aren't changing the requirements. There is a formula for using offsets because they do create a different reading (we had certain situations where there was no choice but to use an offset).

Very helpful video for those shop arguments. I've realized this issue has come from ugga dugga torque people. Torque wrench is the twisting force in smooth turning, impact guns lose twisting force from the hammering action through the extension.

Pretty interesting results Josh. Amazing test. Good on you putting this video out man. Cheers man👍💪🔧🔧

This was a neat test/video! I’ve used extensions with torque wrench’s and wondered for years of the accuracy. This proves my years long assumption was correct👍

Thanks for the info. I often wondered if they changed torque. Keep up the great videos 👍

This was a great video, we did a test years ago as well but with two dial torque wrenches with about 8 feet of extension’s between them, strapped one to the table and turned the other and both had the same reading

Great Video. I appreciate your honest testing and results. Thanks

Awesome Josh. This blows away some of the myths I have been told/taught over the years. Thanks.

Torque is the product of 3 things, force (the lbs in lbs-ft) times the distance from the axis of rotation (the ft in lbs-ft) times the sine of the angle the force is applied. A wrench keeps all the angles perpendicular so this does not affect a torque wrench reading, but would affect how hard you have to pull on the wrench. Consider if you pulled at a shallow angle to the wrench so your arm was close to parallel with the wrench. The torque reading on the wrench will not change but you will have to pull much harder because at a small angle the sine of the angle is small. Similarly with a flex head ratchet the torque reading will not change but you will have to pull harder because with it bent your hand is closer to the axis of rotation.

Josh, this is a great video man! I’ve always been skeptical of the shoptalk about torque wrenches and extensions. I’ve never thought that tool companies would sell us techs astronomically expensive tools. All knowing that they become inaccurate from using their associated extensions. All of my torque wrenches & extensions used for torquing are 3/8” to 3/4” and I’ve always used extensions where needed for access during torque procedures. I use brute strength to turn angles with markers as you do but, where accessible I use impacts to turn the angle if space to swing the angle by hand is no achievable.

What is this, project farm? Lol great info, thank you for taking the time to do this.

I suspect people who think an extension would change the torque don't understand the mechanics of a lever. Torque is a function of distance from center of rotation times force. (think foot times pounds--ie. 100 foot pounds is a force of 100 pounds applied at 1 foot from center of rotation, or 50 pounds at 2 feet from center of rotation, etc.) An extension doesn't increase or decrease the distance from center of rotation.

Awesome video! Love your content it helps motivate me to produce good videos that people need to watch

Thanks a lot for the test. I found this tool "better than ordering" like we did in Brazil. Around here a click torquemeter is very expensive. I saw this ACDelco on eBay a few years ago, and I had to buy it. But time has passed... Now that I've acquired one. It's incredibly accurate. Can you imagine in workshops that don't have any? The fact of using extensions, the biggest danger is twisting the key itself, damaging accuracy. Like manual torque wrenches, they are tools to be extra careful with.🤜🤛

Interesting technical video. My use of tools lately mostly are limited to drivers no larger than 5 millimeters and smaller for radio control gliders.

Very interesting and educational lol I know some do believe using a extension messes with torque setting well now we know

You may find the Torque Test Channel very interesting as they have done this testing in a fairly scientific manner,lots of impact wrench testing also

Torque wrench are calibrated to deliver a set torque based on measured length from the center of the drive square to a point on the handle. Most quality torque wrenches will have some way of marking this point on the handle. The manual that comes with it will also show this. Using an extension does not change that measurement. Now using a torque adapter can change that measurement and will affect that torque delivered. They misconception that extensions will affect torque with a torque wrench come from impact tools. When you are using an impact tool you are essentially using a hammer to turn the fastener. This hammering will cause torsional deflection. This torsional deflection will reduce the amount of torque the impact tool delivers. A torque wrench is not delivering torque. It is measuring the torque being delivered. A couple ideas for a future video with torque wrenchs are how torque adapters affect torque (there are formulas available to calculate this) and what effect jerking, bouncing, or quickly moving a torque wrench has (think a 125 lb tech trying to torque truck lug nuts to 500 lbs) Quick disclaimer here, I am not an engineer or physicist. I am a fellow truck tech (Mack) with a few years of experience under my belt that enjoys his job, most of the time, and enjoys learning. That's why I watch these videos.

Strange. As a new age physicist I was expecting physics to change.

I got into it with the other 2 techs in the shop about this a few months ago…had them seething cause they didn’t wanna admit I was right…did the same thing in the Vice then one of them was like ‘I swear to got ASE says no extensions on torque wrenches!’ He spent like 15 minutes googling and is like ‘read it and weep!’ And I’m like “yeah it says no extensions on torque wrenches…but here it says ‘as long as the centerline of the anvil of the torque wrench lines up with the centerline of the bolt, your torque will be accurate, regardless of the distance between the two, this article refers to extensions such as crows feet’” then he spent 15 more minutes googling before admitting defeat

Pretty good demonstration which I knew the answer years ago. However torque angle at the torque wrench is affected by extensions (longer ones) So it was refreshing to see you mark the socket and base/non movable component to verify. Another trick I use when I have to "ratchet" several times is to know the ratchet tooth count. By knowing the tooth count, the angle you desire and simple math (remember there are only 360 degrees to come to a complete turn) you can just count the clicks and by using a reference point will achieve the desired angle. Funny thing is most all ratchets use an easily divisible number of teeth and the torque angle specified by MFG's take this into account when they specify a particular angle. The critical part is the initial torque value before doing the angle torque. If you muff up the initial torque then your final bolt stretch from torque angle will be off. Very high quality fasteners will have a dimple at each end (dimple in the center of the head and at the end of the bolt) Using a bolt stretch gauge is then used to measure the bolt stretch. Now at some point some one is going to bring up torque sticks which operate in an entirely different way. Those are based on the "elasticity" of the metal alloy and it's diameter/length. The margin of error is higher with torque sticks but typically within the vehicle MFG's allowable margin. One thing to consider about using extensions is keeping it in line with the fastener and a bent extension is quite like a bolt that has been torqued to yield. The accuracy will be off compared to a non over torqued extension. As for using torque sticks, most are designed to operated with an impact that operates at a given torque range. If you use a torque stick rated at say 50ft.lb designed to be used on an impact not to exceed 450 ft.lb and use it on a long throw inch drive impact rated at 1200 ft.lb you do not want to have any body parts in the way due to potential shattering of the stick (seen that happen a few time) For those of you who are considering or use torque sticks, take a paint marker and draw a line down the length of it, you'll know when you have exceeded it's torsional strength. For those of you who like using power tools for as much as possible, take a little time and learn the torque limits of your various extensions and note them. I have a ton if 1/4" through 3/8" extension with lengths up to 4 ft that I have worked out their torque range. Handy when you have a tone of fasteners to do, need to bring something bolted down into place evenly and want to knock them out quickly to an initial value before bringing out the torque wrench

360 degrees to come to a complete revolution-

Ive always found this myth funny - I drill water wells - have done oilfield - and if there was a loss in torque due to length a drilling rig would be severely limited in depth - 6000 ft/lb on the head means 6000 ft/lb on the bit - the "flex" is there no matter what - a 100 meter (approx. 300 foot) drill string on lock up will have 6000 ft/lb over its whole length - but depending on drill pipe sizes can have several turns in difference from top to bottom - i.e you release torque and the top will turn backwards while the bit is stationary - gets to be a problem if you get a bit stuck

Great test. thanks

Hi very informative and helpful video

I called and talked to engineers at snap on once because I needed over 3 foot of extension to torque a flange on a pipe at work and they said even at that length there would be minimal change. It's very interesting between the difference in the digital torque wrenches. Where I work we have a multi thousand dollar piece of equipment to verify in house calibration of torque wrenches. The clickies will always be more accurate than the digitals. The tech angles and digitals are definitely a game changer and have their places.

Back when torque tube's became available at our tire shop, they were very accurate with an impact. The last thing you want is loose lug nuts or over tightened stripped out studs.

I would really like to see you repeat this type of test using both a impact style universal joint as well as the regular hand tool style universal. Testing when its straight to get the base number and then without resetting the torque wrench keep angling the ujoint more and more with repeated tests. It will be hard to gauge the angle the ujoint is at so that will be a constant hard to duplicate but I believe some really wildly inaccurate readings will occur as in far lower then the spec the torque wrench is set at the further the angle is increased, especially for the old traditional ujoint that completely binds up at some point in its angle but will see how far off the ball style joint becomes within its angle of degree travel from straight as well. Since I don't have the torque tool myself I can't test my theory but your able to and hey, it gives a very insightful lesson to us all in the process.

The delivered torque value will change as you change the angle. Torque wrenchs are calibrated to deliver the set torque based on a measurement from the center of the drive end to a set point on the handle. An extension held at a perfect 90 under the head of the torque wrench doe not change that measurement. If you use an universal, it will change that measurement and will change the delivered torque.

Interesting! I have to use a 3" extension to torque the lugs on my camper, I really didn't think it would change that much.

Great test, all that time I have tried not to use extensions whilst torquing stuff down. 🙃

Great video 👍

The difference in applied torque with and without extensions is not apparent in essentially static situations using hand tools. The difference is in the use of impact tools, as the hammer blows are absorbed by the "torsion spring" effect of the extension plus socket vs just the socket... Torque wrenches are typically off about 5% in statistical analysis. the "Torque limiting extensions" are essentially tuned springs that absorb the impact energy and only deliver a torque range on the fastener... Would be interesting to have a channel like smarter every day catch this on high speed cameras...

Great video

For work I have to torque duel drive axle tires with a 13'' extension on a 3/4'' drive torque wrench to 500 ft lb, doing the same torque to the steer axles with out the 13'' extension, It feels the same but I don't have to push as long. I believe torquing with extensions doesn't change torque values. it will however change how far it has to be torqued due to the extension twisting.

I knew it... all theses years of people saying to add more🤣 thanks bro

Liked the practicality of this video. Now can I throw this curve ball out to you Josh ( incidently the youngest on my eleven offspring is named Josh 🙋‍♂️), what is the effect on torque with offsets like claw foots etc. So if it's not to much of an ask could you do a similar video on that as well as the situation were one has a let's say a head bolt were you are re-tourquing, is it better to back off then torque up at a constant rate rather than try to snap the bolt from the static. If I say thanks mate you will know were I reside and as for my prolification of children before any smart quips, the 2 oldest sons between them run 12 kenworths gross loaded at 130 ton on cattle and bulk grain there's 2 qualified refrigeration techs 1 electrician 2 farm managers 1 physiotherapist 2 hospital dept managers and 1 farm supplies owner. Now with out the way just back to torque wrench accuracy if you go to Rawzes channel ( Cummins) you will see that the actual injector settings are done on a very precise torque wrench setting. Sorry for the spoiler and talking Cummins but some times accuracy is absolute. Thanks mate from Perth West Australia.

At 20 seconds into the video my answer is no, as long as you are using them correctly, meaning keeping everything at right angles. If your angle is off the torque will change, but not a lot. Let's see if I'm right. I guess I was right. What confuses me is how does the wrench (ratchet) measure angle without a reference on something that doesn't move. It doesn't seem possible to me, but then again I've never seen one.

I have that exact AC Delco tool but be careful with it. On mine, the case cracked and the apparatus started to come out. I'm gonna get a new one though and just be more careful.

I think the only time a torque value would be "off" from the setting would be using something such as a crowfoot wrench, and not having it perpendicular (90*) to the handle, resulting in a different fulcrum point/lever length that the torque wrench is exerting on the fastener.

I’d love to see the colored impact extensions that are used for torquing wheels tested this way

And to add a bit more since a torque wrench applies a static torque, any torsional deflection won’t impact the reading since it’s the applied torque that is causing the deflection to begin with. It’s really the same as a spring in your suspension in that the weight just compresses he spring, except here the extension is acting as a torsional spring instead.

I was working in a tire shop when we got the torque stick sockets, took about 10 minutes to ugga dugga the first lot of wheel nuts on and check with a torque wrench, if I remember right we had to use our rattle gun on setting 3 to get the rated torque from the sticks

I have the Snap On 24" long extension that's 1/2" drive but 3/8" on the socket end I have to use to access the hystat pump mounting bolts in CAT skid steers. They're supposed to be torqued to 190-ish and when loosening or tightening I can defitnitely feel it twisting. Due to the oddball angle and having to use a torque adapter, I know the reading would be sqewed but would be interesting to see what the loss is.

Thanks for this. I knew lengthening in-line with the wrench would alter the torque, but wasn't sure about lengthening perpendicular to the wrench. Now I can rest easy!

Those torque limiting extensions *ONLY* work with an impact gun and will not work when torqueing by hand. They are made from spring steel and will twist to absorb the impact from your impact gun at a calibrated torque. I personally wouldn't rely on them to accurately fasten lug nuts. I always run the lugs down with the gun and then use a torque wrench it to finish it off. Edit: Tests have shown that impact rate changes the accuracy of the extension. Slower the better. You need to give the steel time to flex and return to original position, if the gun hammers too fast it can overcome the extension and keep turning the fastener.

@Look_What_I_Did

Жыл бұрын

Because time is a component of the calculation.

Logic would dictate that input and output would have to be essentially equal, regardless of how much the extensions twist. However, this same "logic" does not apply when using extensions on an impact wrench because the applied torque twists the extension and the "stored torque" is lost when the impact wrench releases as it winds up for its next impact.

I hear extensions and wobble sockets reduce the effectiveness of impacts. That would be an interesting experiment.

If you add enough extension length, could require several feet, eventually the wind up required to load the extensions to the desired torque will take long enough that if you jerk the torque tool to get a quick click out of it you will not have transferred the energy all the way through the extension chain. On cam over torque tools it is easier for this to happen. If enough time is allowed for any length of extension to fully load up assuming the yield strength is never achieved you can always transfer the desired amount of torque!

I wonder how the troque changes when you have to use an Universal joint Adapter. I think you loose torque the worst the Angel gets. But somtimes i feel like more force spend, to exceed the torque. Its somtimes scray because the bolts always feel very squischi.

I have the same adapter and I was doing my own experiments before I use it on the bolts of my motorcycle and the result is that there is no difference except if you change the angle like using a crowfoot at different angle of 90 degrees as it should be.

Commenting on the videos for the algorithm is a good idea to get a new one for the algorithm

For more accuracy use a tube over the extensions to prevent your hand from causing discrepancy. Also there shouldn't be any difference because it is about rotation not deflection.

Interesting. I've had bolts my impact wouldnt break loose before and when I dumped the extension off it backed them out. I guess that was strictly related to the movement in the extension. I'd say I got lucky but its happened multiple times.

I’m confused on how you fixed your rear windows lol. Was everything okay, just the switches needed to be cleaned?

What if the adapter is at the wrench end of the extension instead of the socket end? Will you still get an accurate reading? Many times, I can't get the adapter close to the socket because there isn't enough room.

How’s the best way to check the torque on a driveshaft bolts?

But it does affect a air impact gun to deliver impact blows as shown on the torque channel

How do you know that the digital tool is accurate? I'd have to look it up because my memory isn't reliable but wouldn't a better way to determine accuracy if a torque wrench be to have a. 90° extension and a. Footlong extension and hang the amount of weight that you're wanting to verify on the wrench in. (20 lb if you're trying to verify 20-ft lb on the wrench)?

There's definitely twist in an extension but it's still going to deliver the required torque if the torque wrench pops

Newton’s third law. Generally ok using extensions. Almost all extensions are made off tool steel, they won’t deflect, instead they snap. Torque sticks are made of spring steel, they flex and allow a impact gun to ratchet. They definitely would affect torque value on a wrench.

No but on an impact you lose the hammering if that makes any sense you lose the hammering to break the bolts loose

Not going to change regardless of the extension length. Ten-foot extension, same torque. The extensions will twist but the torque won't change Holding the extension to keep it straight will introduce side loading and change the reading slightly. Now, extensions on big impacts will absorb energy and reduce the impulse torque driven by the impact wrench.

Before watching this video, I would say that the physics shows the torque DOES change, but not enough to notice, based on the materials of the extension. Soft metals will absorb more torque, but no useable material will show measurable torque reduction at the levels used by hand. Now, let's see what the video shows...

As I've always said, it doesn't matter if it flexes. What matters is that it STOPS flexing. Once it provides a set amount of torque resistance, that's the torque it's applying.

Resonance in the circuit will cause overs, real imaginary, magic, its there. Does it matter with a manual device, no. Why, its just that a resonant wave. With an impact, its sample rate and inability to to to use reliably. Accurate without an analog position is impossible, hence the **/¿+90deg is used in specs, it is an absolute that can be acquired no other way than material composition AND machining accuracy BOTH being with in acceptable parameters.

where is the handle applied force numbers and angler deflection numbers and dont touch the tool to prevent deflection, unless proper testing is not a concern. the whole idea that your cant pull hard enough to compensate is not the question.

You're measuring more of a static load, I've never heard anyone say extensions loose anything in this configuration, they'd have to be an idiot to think that. It's when they're used with an impact and the flex absorbs some of the torque.
