Electric impact socket adapters

[ditcherman]

An extension doesn't affect torque.
Well, it does on an impact.
Snap On torque extensions are different thicknesses of spring steel extensions to torque nuts down with an impact. When the torque is reached, they flex under impact and quit turning the nut. But they only work on impacts, not a ratchet.
The reason the Bosch bit reached a high torque rating is it didn't flex. When it broke, it shattered.

Just to be clear, the first extension mentioned - the way I read it - was an extension on the handle of a torque wrench. Making the handle longer.
Lots of talking past each other in this thread.

Wait until someone mentions the torque multiplier...

3/4 or 1" @printcraft once said, because size really does matter.

Surely you jest. I won't mention it, just post a picture

The way this thread is going the OP is going to need to use some uncoiled rice on the adapters and keep a close eye on his wallet...
