I've got a 1/2" Harbor Freight torque wrench and I have a piece of 3" pvc pipe, about 3 feet long. The pvc fits over the handle of the torque wrench to give you extra leverage, and is thick enough to work like a piece of iron tubing but is much lighter. Of course we don't have the salt/rust to work against us like yall do.....
