adjustment spanner
Most 'click-type' torque wrenches (corresponding to those with a 'clapet' in French) can be adjusted by hand, without special tools. Maybe the torque wrench in the question is a heavy-duty model that requires a spanner (or other 'adjustemt tool') for setting the torque at which it 'clicks'.
The 'clapet' is (usually) a hardened steel arrow-shaped piece fitted into a notch on the wrench head, which is pushed by a heavy spring, which is the part that needs adjusting to determine the torque at which the wrench 'clicks' (releases torsion on the screw).

: "spanner" for GB readers. "torque" is more often used than dynamometric, which is a misnomer in any case.

hex (allen) key (for torque driver)
If the valve head adjustment hole is hexagonal in shape then it is indeed a hex or allen key.

: That's a very big 'If'. There's nothing in the question, as posed, allowing us to be so specific.
