     * The drive end doesn'​t know when to click. It is pre-calculated force from the handle working to build force at the drive end. \\ Pulling from the nut on the end adds more length but creates the same force on the drive end (fooling the wrench to click prematurely).     * The drive end doesn'​t know when to click.
