Technical Doubling the capacity of an inch/lb torque wrench

Interesting and I must say, entertaining thread with multiple solutions. Life is short, I agree with everyone.

The OP's original 'what is' posting: "I've a Mac 0-60 in/lb torque wrench, I need to double the capacity to get fairly accurate at 90 in/lbs. I don't think its as simple as making a 1 inch extension, is it?"

"Torque wrench? We don't need no stinking torque wrench!"

If the item in need of torque can be placed in a position where a horizontal beam can be affixed, one can use m*** and gravity to obtain a reasonably accurate torque by using a breaker bar marked to 18 inches and suspending a usually brand new 5 pound home gym workout weight at that point...

Appreciate the reply and understand it completely, but items that needed to be torqued were on an OT engine (still a Chevy V8 tho).

The old wrench I came across worked as well as I could expect. Job is done and I’m back in the road

I have a couple/few METRIC, clicker style, torque wrenches, left over from old CAT Scanner installations (these are SMALL torque wrenches/ "1/4"," DRIVES) that I'll never use if anyone wants them, for FREE.
