I need to buy a torque wrench?

But, can i use the 1/4" fittings on the end on a 3/8" Wrench?

1. screwfix direct they have everything http://www.screwfix.com/
2. Get an adapter, but for this small of a driver I would be very careful as it will not take much torque,
3. Yes you can. It's the length's of your extensions between the wrench and socket that alter the torque.
4. Yes but you need to do the proper math to count for the slight length difference (a drive adapter extends the length slightly creating an innacurate measurment) here is the equation C=D(A/A+B) The letters in the formula have the following meaning. A = length of torque wrench B = length of adapter C = torque wrench setting D = desired torque at end of extension
5. Goto Halfords and get an adaptor - dead easy.
6. just buy an adapter they are like 2 dollars and easy to find
7. It's best to evaluate the maximum torque readings you'll be needing the wrench for and select accordingly using no adapters. 1/4"torque wrenches usually measure inch pounds. If you toss on a 3/8 adapter you'll be using it out of range.
8. Yes but you have to buy and adapter... Best place to buy it? Sears... Their tools are guarenteed for ever....
