I seem to have started a very learned discussion on this topic. As
the person who asked what to do when you can't get the wrench
directly on the bolt all I can say is Svein's solution works what
ever the theory. Using the spanner/wrench combination, the torque
wrench 'clicks' at exactly the same point as torque wrench alone on
my simple bench comparison.
Many congratulations on your first flight Svein - perhaps one day we
will follow suit.
