Better than damaging a perfectly good torque wrench by using to undo nuts

[NBs996]

that's how my torque wrench got buggered up.

note to self: never loan out precision instruments!

My 230 torque wrench works both left and right handed! As the torque of this particular nut is at most 185 the wrench is working well within its capability.
However i do concur that it is not necesarily good practice to be used on a daily occurance, but how often are you really doing this?

yeehah, get um up, ride em home rawhide...........

Why not use a breaker bar, or even a piece of scaffold pole/old fork stanchion rather than knacker up a torque wrench?
