A crow's foot never worked for me. Motion Pro makes a box end wrench that works well. It has a 12mm on one end, a 14mm on the other, in the middle is a 3/8" drive hole for the torque wrench. They include a formula for calculating the changed torque value, but if you just rotate the wrench to be 90° to the torque wrench shaft, you don't need to change anything.

Motion Pro's tool looks kinda like this.........
By feel is fine...but that low a torque can sneak up on your calibrated elbow....

If you want to mod a box end motion pro's website has the directions for the tool above. It gives the dimensions and multiplication factors. http://www.motionpro.com/images/documents/08-0134.pdf
