Default rachet adapter?

anybody know where i might find a rachet adapter for a toque wrench? i know snap-on has one for around $60. dont want to spend that much- and i really don't need another torque wrench.

do you mean where it turns a non ratcheting wrench into a ratchet wrench, or a set of adaptors to go from 3/8th to 1/2 or 1/4 etc.

i couldnt really find anyone who makes these except for the big names like mac and snap-on however...

worth a shot?

If you cant find one thats under 70, i just suggest getting a new torque wrench because with that adaptor, i dont know if you run into any issues with clearance in tight places and im not sure you want to put that on the wrench, then a socket, then on the bolt. the fewer things in the equation, the more accurate the torque wrench is.
