What is the lever used for on a coupling torque wrench?
I've got a Pasco 7020

Never used a pasco. Does the metal shaft of the wrench pop or slip when you have reached preset torque of the wrench. If so I would say that it gives you the ability to apply more torque than the preset amount built into the handle.
 
I appreciate the replies and that makes total sense. I wasn't sure if it was a lever to reverse the ratchet action like a regular automotive ratchet. But I get it - a lever to manually loosen the bolts

I use a drill on torch number 9 and. A 5/16 hex tip... tighten or loosen with drill and then click it twice
