    We did pay attention to that from the start, which is one of the two reasons it's kept short. The other one is JCW is a dedicated castle nut wrench, it doesn't need to be any longer than it is.

    Our conclusion and calculation is the little length it adds, from the torque wrench socket to either the 2 lug wrench or the 3 lug wrench, is so short as to be a non-issue, given the torque range of 38 to 42 which allows ample freedom within the scope. Any shorter than than, we'd risk interference from the torque wrench's head.

    We could engrave the distance, but believe most will ignore it, since they won't take the very minor offset into consideration.
