Why GRIP Position on Torque Wrenches MATTERS

Holding a torque wrench at different locations on the handle actually changes the applied torque for length-dependent wrenches. In short: "torque is torque" doesn't always apply. The math in this video explains this real-world phenomenon: /watch/kiu0xEtxMsRx0 Support nerdy bike content: https://www.thebikesauce.com/ I created this video because @parktool pointed out a fundamental flaw in testing torque wrench accuracy by sliding a fixed weight to different locations along the handle (something I did in a previous video). The mathematical result in this video agrees with the experimental results, but feel free to point out any errors you find; we're always open to constructive criticism here.
