Torque ?
Is my torque going to be the same when using a crows foot socket directly on my torque wrench?

Thanks.

Up, but unless it is critical, usually not enough to worry about.

Figure about 1/12th or 8 percent..... ( 1" longer crowsfoot )

If you hold it 90 degrees to the torque wrench I think it shouldn't affect it, IIRC.

I cannot see how it would not change it. If you want the value to equal your desired torque then you will need to do some math.
