How much do you compensate for torque lost from the wobbles?

The wobble joints only loose torque by roughly the sin of the angle. I have to add about 20% to the spec to get the proper torque at the bolt. I have a torque adapter that will register peak torque I will do a test next time to actually measure what comes out to set the torque wrench.

As we are talking about a square connector at an angle doesn't it account at what rotational position it is (same like a universal joint)? Not that I would personally mind the small difference with a reasonable angle used.

Wobble extension allows the socket to pivot up to 10° or so.

They are much better than universals. Especially when using impact (though with impact they do suck up torque).

Love wobble extensions. They give you just enough give without going to a universal.

I also have Ή/₄ , Ή/₂ , ³/₈ impact flex joints but they take up a lot more space so the wobble is option A.
