A Torque Wrench to Adjustable Wrench Adapter

[rgsparber]

Rick, I confess this is stripping my gears. I don't have a beam deflector style torque wrench, only the clicker style. to boot, i am 250 miles from home and unable to construct a test for a few more days. but in my mind, i am visualizing a 100 lb weight on the end of the wrench, and adjusting it to barely trigger the click. and then trying the same 100 lb weight 6" closer to the square drive. i'm thinking it would not click. am I misunderstanding your concept?

i love the idea of tying non-square drive connections to the square drive of my torque wrench, to measure the applied torque. but your engineering-trained brain has me beaten on this one.

thanks for stretching the grey matter, sir.

I did screw up. Standby for an update that will include a correction factor.
