On a torque wrench that is 1 foot long you need 300 pounds of weight to get 300# feet of torque. On a 2 ft long wrench you only need 150 pounds on the end to generate 300 pound ft of torque
Aha....so the only trouble (specific the HF wrench) is it is fatty - my cheater pipe easily went over my 3/4" breaker -
but the torque wrench is one beefy bastard - that I couldn't fit the pipe over the handle....
so moral of the story.... if you are going to use a "cheater" on the HF torque wrench - you are going to need a fatty pipe...

Do a little bit of searching around your area for a place that will rent big torque wrenches.
I paid $22 to rent a 600lbs wrench for a day here in Ohio.
Was easy and I didn't have to guess at all.
