 how to get 360ft-lbs torque?
 uh, put a 360 lb guy on a one foot bar?
OR put a 150 pound guy on a 2 foot bar?
OR put a one pound guy on a 360 foot bar?

Seriously, If I understand this correctly, any variation in angle between
the true torque wrench and the extender will result in a "false" torque
acheived. Maybe Yau-Man (physics guy) can be of help here?
