It only changes the torque if you add length, like a crows foot. If it's just a normal extension to get to a deeper bolt/nut then no toque difference.
That's what I've always understood- extensions like this:
require calculation for proper torque.
Correct and there is a formula for setting the right torque on an adjustable or the reading on a bar type wrench.
The following formula has been used:
M1 = M2 x L1 / L2
Where:
M1 is the torque setting of the wrench.
M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut
L1 is the normal length of the wrench
L2 is the extended length of the wrench

If you hook that Crow Foot to come off the side, at a right angle you are not adding any length to the torque wrench.
