Default Torque wrench question

Just picked up my newly sharpened blades from the mower place. The repair
guys said "Make damn sure you tighten the bolts right. There's no way to get
the required 40 ft/lb torque with a 3/8" drive. With a breaker bar, yes, but
not with a 3/8 torque wrench." I have a 3/8" drive Matco torque wrench with
adjustments from 10 to 100 ft lbs. It's 18" long, bigger than any breaker
bar I have.

What's this repair guy talking about?
