Yes, but I did it the old fashioned way, by placing a certain amount of weight at a certain length of pipe. I placed my breaker bar (20") on the nut and slipped the jack handle extension over it more (making it a "cheater bar"), and since I am approx 185 lbs, I stood at the 21" mark to torque the bolt to 330 ft lbs.
Its the old school and garage mechanic way to do it but it worked quite awesome I must say.
I looked at the HF 300 ft lb torque wrench but didn't want to spend 80 bucks for a tool I will literally use once. I had enough "one time use" tools from that job lol
