On the 27- mik III I just make sure the extension stays vertical. Not dealing with that much torque.

The configuration I see is the socket on the nut, an extension of X inches held by a bushing several inches above the socket, then the multiplier on top of the extension. I just don't see a difference for the multiplier if the extension is held firmly. What difference does it make if the multiplier is 1 inch, 12 inches or 24 inches from the socket if the extension is held where it can't tilt or misalign? See what I'm thinking? Dennis C.

So I take it that you prefer getting the multiplier out of the hole and using the handle?

Keel bolt #4 is down a deep hole and is constrained to a narrow channel. The immediate thought is to simply use an extension. Problem is that the torque multiplier specifically states to not use an extension... I assume on the output shaft. I also assume that the reason for this is to ensure alignment stays perfect while applying such extreme torque. So, is it better to brace the handle-less multiplier in the bottom of the hole while using an extension on the 1/2" drive input shaft to apply the required torque? Without a handle I'll shore up the edges of the hull to attempt to prevent excessive point loads and crushing. Or is it better to use a 13" long, 3/4" drive, extension between the socket and the multiplier to get the multiplier above the hole? This would allow using the handle on the multiplier.
