Note

If the angle from the extension to the torque wrench is greater than 90° (Figure 2), input E as a positive number.
If the angle from the extension to the torque wrench is less than 90° (Figure 3), input E as a negative number.
If the angle from the extension to the torque wrench is exactly 90°, this calculator is not needed. Torque the fastener to T1.
