Answer: You should never, under any circumstances, use a “cheater bar” with a torque wrench.  Not only is the accuracy adversely affected by cheater bar tools, but also serious bodily injury may result.

Q: Is The Torque Wrench Accuracy Affected If I Use An Extension?
Answer: It depends on what type of torque wrench extension bar you are using.  If you are using a wrench extension bar that is vertical to the drive, it has no affect on the accuracy.  If you are using an extension torque wrench bar that is horizontal to the drive, such as a crowfoot, making the effective length longer, then you need to use the adapter torque wrench formula.
