It is not possible to increase the torque without increasing the force applied, F.
The torque would increase by using a wrench that is half the length of the original one (decreasing it to 4'') and applying the force F to the end of the shorter wrench.
The torque would increase by using the same wrench (with a length of 8'') but applying the force F at a 45 angle to the end of the wrench.
