Dennis, I'm totally in agreement with your thinking and think you are envisioning it correctly but I just wanted to check with the collective wisdom. I wish the multiplier had expounded on their "do not use extensions" warning.

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.
