Torque and Chrome

When using a torque wrench, how will the torque change with a 6" extension?

what percentage of torque will be lost??

1. the amount of loss is negligible... I assume you are speaking of a 6 inch socket extension and not a handle extension
2. I'm going to assume, the extension mentioned is not going to change the length of the torque wrench, i.e. a standard 3/8 or 1/2 drive extension. It won't change it at all....unless you are generating enough torque to actually twist the extension....highly unlikely in an automotive application.
3. An extension does not consume torque. As long as you keep the extension in line with the bolt, the wrench should read correctly.
4. It will make no difference
