A torque wrench is a calibrated tool that is going to apply a certain amount of load to a nut or a bolt. The amount of torque that is applied depends on the mount of force that you apply to the tool’s handle and the length of the wrench. To figure out the torque, the torque formula is: force x length = torque.
So, let’s say your torque wrench is a foot long, and you apply 30 pounds of force to the handle. That means you are applying 30 ft/lbs of torque to the bolt or nut that you are tightening. If your wrench is twice as long (2 feet) and you’re applying the same amount of force to the handle (30 pounds), you are going to be applying 60 ft/lbs of torque to the bolt or nut.
The torque wrench tells you how much force you’re applying to the fastener because it uses a deflection beam or a spring mechanism that’s been calibrated. The tool usually features a scale or a display screen and it shows you the load that’s been applied.
These can be calibrated to read foot-pounds (ft/lbs), inch-pounds (in/lbs) or Newton-Meters (Nm). Usually when you’re working a car, the you will be using a foot pound torque wrench is going to read either 200 ft/lbs or 250 ft/lbs. It could also read 150 or 200 Nm.
The torque values for a fastener that has a 1/2inch (or larger) wrench size head will be specified in ft/lbs (English) or Newton Meters (metric). Torque values for fasteners with less than 1/2inch wrench head size is going to be specified in/lbs instead.
That is not an explanation how a solid shaft running from the click pivot all the way to the adjuster is affected by where your hand is placed. Clearly you think that it should be done per instructions, and that is a perfectly sound conclusion. But you also don't seem to understand the basic objection I've made or why manufacturers like Park say things like "this is hard to explain". Not only are you not explaining it, you don't seem to even realize that it is a complicated question.
This gent at least alludes to the mystery, but also isn't able to explain it, aside from repeating a theory that a thick steel shaft is flexible,
At about 4:20 he gives the flex theory (which he derides), then wades into another one that shows how the wrench works, but again fails to address how holding a handle one place or another could effect an internal mechanism. Which is a lot like saying a nail can tell where you held the handle of a hammer.
BTW, implying that I'm not intelligent merely implies a lot about yours. So cut it out.
