Need some pro advise....

I can see the validity to that. I still see it as bad practice, using too many or undersized extensions. Something about the tool twisting between the torque wrench and the fastener is enough to get my panties in a wad, and tells me I'm not set up correctly in most cases, but sometimes, you cant help it either. Besides, breaking tools and busting your knuckles sucks.

And yes you are correct. I was taught that and never really questioned it, it's never been an issue. Im not a physics major, but understand enough to see your point.

No worries. Im more preoccupied with trying to learn more about what I'm doing and how to do it better than to let my ego in the way, so Im always willing to learn something new.
