I've never seen any crows feet that keeps the fasteners axis of rotation in the same line as the torque wrench head's axis of rotation
Do find the humor in the discussion on torque sticks vs laws of physics...magic is how many thought of them when they first used one...

that changes the moment (lever arm) changes the multiplier/lever arm ratio of the 'same' force applied.The moment is measured from the center of the fastener's axis of rotation to the point on that force is applied.

WHEN INSTALLING REESE HITCH BALLS:
torque all ¾" shank balls to 160 ft. lbs., all 1" to 250 ft. lbs., and 1¼" shank balls to 450 ft. lbs.

Guess some folks think 16 oz of beer is.....'virtually the same'......as a liter of beer... :R
IIRC etrailer was 150# on the small one.
