Maybe I can help. Take a look at this website, it may assist you with 

the use of a crows foot.

 I'm not sure I agree with this method. I don't think the torque wrench 

 knows how long a handle is exerting the force. I think that it will 

 still "click" at the setting you set it at. If the proper setting is 

 50 inch lbs (EU's have to do the conversion) and you set it the torque 

 wrench for 25 inch lbs, then the wrench is going to click when you 

 have 25 inch lbs exerted on it. And your bolt is only torqued to 25 

 inch lbs, not 50. Making the handle longer only allows you to have to 

 exert 1/2 the pressure to get that 50 inch lbs to the torque wrench.

  

 Am I missing something here?

Mike,

  

 Indeed - that is the difference!  This thread started with a question  on what to do if one could not get the wrench directly onto the bolt  because of tight space. That was the concept I had in my head when I  replied to you.

  

  

 Best regards

I seem to have started a very learned discussion on this topic. As the person who asked what to do when you can't get the wrench directly on the bolt all I can say is Svein's solution works what ever the theory.  Using the spanner/wrench combination, the torque wrench 'clicks' at exactly the same point as torque wrench alone on my simple bench comparison. 

Many congratulations on your first flight Svein - perhaps one day we will follow suit.



Regards
