T1 – Torque specification for the fastener. more
Sometimes it’s not possible or desirable to work with your crowfoot wrench at a 90-degree angle to the wrench handle. In situations like this, you can still accurately measure torque. In fact, if you do a calculation based on the new total length of the torque wrench and crowfoot wrench combined, you‘ll be able to accurately measure torque with the crowfoot wrench in any position.

C – Change in length caused by the crowfoot wrench. Measure from the center of the fastener to the center of the square drive tang on the torque wrench. Measure in a line parallel to the body of the wrench. If the position of the crowfoot wrench decreases the effective length of the torque wrench, creating a negative change, then input this amount into the equation as a negative number.
L – Effective length of the torque wrench. Measure from the center of the square drive tang to the groove in the knurled handle grip on Tekton torque wrenches (check manufacturer recommendations for other brands of torque wrenches and use the center of the handle grip if the manufacturer does not recommend a location). First, set the torque wrench to the torque spec for the fastener (T1) and then measure in a straight line parallel to the body of the wrench. [links]
T2 – Final torque wrench setting that you should use. This will correct for any change in leverage caused by using the crowfoot wrench. here
Foot-Pound : The foot-pound (symbol: ft•lb) is a measurement unit of energy which is equivalent to 1.3558179483314 joules. It is defined as the amount of energy expended in applying a force of one pound-force through a displacement of one foot. Commonly used in the Engineering and Gravitational Systems in United States customary and imperial units of measure.
Inch-Pound : The inch-pound (Abbreviation: in-lb) is a measurement unit of energy which is equal to one-twelfth of a foot-pound. Foot-Pound : The foot-pound (symbol: ft•lb) is a measurement unit of energy which is equivalent to 1.3558179483314 joules. It is defined as the amount of energy expended in applying a force of one pound-force through a displacement of one foot.

Enter the force applied perpendicular to the lever arm. [links]
This tool calculates torque using the following formula: [links]
You can use this free torque conversion calculator to easily convert a range of torque measurement units including pound-force inches, Newton meters, kilogram-force centimeters, ounce-force inches, kilogram-force meters, among others.
Torque can be measured using a variety of different units. These include the kilogram-force meter (kgf·m), Newton meter (N·m), and the gram-force centimeter (gf·cm). [links]
Essentially, torque represents the force that is applied to a lever multiplied by its distance from the lever's fulcrum. The Greek letter tau (τ) is used as the symbol for torque. [links]
