The torque wrench utilized a ~5" extension so that the physical handle of it hung off the edge of the table. We then had an aluminum block that had a pocket cut out of the top to accept the extension on the torque wrench. A top piece would then screw into the block to captivate the torque wrench extension. The entire torque wrench assembly would then be self-standing even when disconnected from the wheel testing rig. Due to various size wheels, we used this block in combination with a series of spacers to keep the extension on the torque wrench fully supported for all wheel sizes.
