Prevent torque errors – adjusting the extension length

When you are working with insert tools, the extension length can change. This also alters the effective force loading point of the torque wrench. Here's the problem: The wrench clicks even though the actually applied torque does not match the specified value. A small deviation can have major consequences. This is the solution: Our extension length calculator lets you work out the correct setting value (WK) quickly and reliably. You can therefore be sure that your torque wrench works precisely when used with insert tools and shell tools. 👉 Tip: Our video demonstrates why the extension length is so crucial.
