 Not only did the engineers find out that special twistin' is a must they noted
torque values as they designed the machines, and they passed these on to you
in the pub that goes along with your equipment.
 The organizational maintenance pub may have a table with the standard
torque values, and special torque values may be called out in the text.
 No mechanic worth his salt would tackle a job without his torque wrench and
the know-how of using it.

 EXTENSION MATH
 If you're usin' a regular torque handle without an attachment that adds to the
length of the wrench, you just torque to the value indicated in your pubs.
 If you're using an extension that does add to the length of the wrench, though,
there's a little more involved, and you'll have to put on your thinking cap and
do a little figurin'.

 Now just suppose that you're wrappin' up a job on your equipment, and you
come to a nut or a bolt that has to be torqued, but you can't get at it with a
regular socket. Let's say it requires a 6-in adapter on that torque wrench to reach
it. The pub says the nut is supposed to be torqued down to 65 foot-pounds. Fine!
