World's most versatile torque wrench 

I thought of using the luggage scale before, but I did not thought of using the wood or pipe as extensions!

Using proper mathematical formulas, every tool is a torque wrench.

Ingenius! Thank you for the technique, Sir. What incredible out of the box thinking!

Genius! Love your work sir. Have also loved your dissection threads on the M54 engine, so good! Greetings from New Zealand

Incredible. I never would have considered this. Thank you sir

I have the very same scale;-) thank you for this great tip;-)

Great tip. A point about torque on a fastener that most people ignore is that the fastener has to be moving when the torque is reached, or it isn't accurate. What this also means, when using a torque wrench that clicks when the number is reached, is that multiple clicks (or multiple pulls if using a luggage scale) doesn't 'improve' or 'verify' the torque.

Outstanding

Necessity is the mother of invention! Brilliant, simple, logic driven solution. Well done Sir!

Awesome Richo.

Jeff is the realest for this

I happen to be working on the water pump and thermostat in my 987.2 Boxster. All those bolts are super tough to reach and like you, I don’t have the Porsche tool (though theirs is pretty cool, not insanely expensive and I might buy one if I could. But I’m not a dealer). That nut on the belt tensioner loosened and I was dreading trying to fix it. An experienced hand, I think I could use my torque wrench on the fasteners I can reach and use muscle memory to duplicate. Now I won’t have to try that either. Thanks mate!! Now to find a luggage scale….

Never thought of using a luggage scale. Pretty slick!

Brilliant

Hats off sir, assuming a mech eng would figure out such brilliant yet simple idea😊

Seems like an opportunity to patent the tool??

i have done this with bathroom scales

Great video and just in time, I need to torque my axle nuts to 340lb-ft and never thought of this idea, it’s genius!
