That was my same thought.  You can make the handle 6' long if you want  and 
when it gets to 150 lbs, it is going to click.  There is no indication  that 
you have gotten to 250 lbs or whatever it is you are looking for.  Are  you 
suggesting that you apply a 160 lb you on the end of the 18" bar until  the nut 
won't turn anymore?  I think that is what you are saying.  Why  risk buggering 
up your torque wrench?  Just use a 1/2" drive breaker bar  with a pipe over the 
end if that's where we are going.
