Custom Wrench
Made a custom wrench extension for my torque wrench to allow me to get my front lower control arm bolts properly torqued. Have to reduce torque on my 1/2" drive snap on tech angle wrench by 20% as length of wrench was increased by 6" (thanks Rob Edwards for this)

Most awesome!
I've always wanted to have some sort of interface tool to go from the torque wrench to the combination wrench, so I could rig one of those up whenever I needed it, without going all in with the welding.
The closest I've ever seen for that are fan nut wrenches that are designed to fit multiple sizes, but still nothing like I'm looking for. Anyone ever seen one?

Never knew such a thing existed. Was easy to make at home now so I don't have to buy those things

Yes, exactly, they will hardly ever be used. And even then, what if it turns out you need 3" of extension rather than the 2" it comes with? Or an offset?
So the ability to custom weld your own as you need it, onto a cheap combination wrench is nice. Since I don't have a welder, I'd like to have another way to attach the combo wrench to the torque wrench.
