Owen has it pretty much right. Torque is measured by force applied and the distance from application (the lever arm or in this case the distance from the center line of the fastener being turned to the device being used, the torque wrench) With a clicker type torque wrench, it really doesn't matter where you grip the wrench. It will matter how much extra distance you are adding with the crowsfoot socket. As mention above, having the socket offset 90 degrees will pretty much negate any error from the socket. Many torque wrenches are not that accurate and I think that if you pick a torque in the middle of the value required, you will be pretty safe.
