Yes, you could have a long and very stiff lever. And I too can fell the
difference between flex torque and turn
but I think I would be able to feel it less and less the longer the lever
becomes. I'm not trying to be contrary here for the sake of it. I just know
that when I use and exstension hammer extended, I lose some control, which
translates to lost accuracy.
