TORQUE WRENCH ADAPTERS
Some tasks require the use of a torque wrench adapter when the nut or screw cannot be reached with a
regular socket on the end of the torque wrench. These adapters add to the overall length of the torque
wrench and make the dial or scale reading less than actual torque applied to the nut or screw. To prevent
over torquing and damage to equipment, calculate correct dial or scale reading using the conversion formula
on the following page.
