I blame it on the product of rushing off a post late at night without carefully thinking about it.It makes no difference what the length of the spanner is. If the axis of the spanner is perpendicular to the torque wrench at the moment the torque setting is reached, the torque at the center of the spanner opening (the center of the castle nut) will be the same as the torque wrench setting. That is, using a spanner perpendicular to a torque wrench applies the same torque to the castle nut as a socket directly above it.</blockquote>
