I just got back from sears and they only have the 1/4 inch drive 1/4 12pt socket. No 3/8 drive like my torque wrench. Since everyone says not to use a adapter or exstension with torque wrench. Sears only had one set of tools that had a 3/8 drive 1/4 12pt socket out of all them sets of tools.So are ya'll useing the 1/4 drive with an adapter or what.

Yea the set of tools that had it were the older style ones, but I was not going to pay 245.00 just to get that one socket.

Geez man. Think about it. Does your 3/8 drive torque wrench even do INCH pounds. I doubt it. It does FOOT pounds. Snug the damn thing up and call it good.

I have a Craftsman 3/8 drive INCH pound torque wrench. They're certainly not unusual.

Home-depot has the 1/4" 12 point sockets 3/8" drive. If you need 1/4" drive, you'll have to buy an adapter and theyhave that as well.[/align]
