Torque wrench recommendation needed

You must mean this crazy set of adapters.

It was likely midnight when I went to torque down the reluctor rings and discover that the torque wrench only went CW and it's lowest setting was far too high.

So I go though my toolbox (which came with from home 3 hours away) and discover I can use a 1/2" combination wrench, a 1/2" to 3/8 drive adaper (meant to turn ratcheting box intro a ratchet wrench), a 3/8 socket then a 3/8 to 1/4” insert bit adapter, then finally a 1/4” hex to socket drive adapter.

Most of those adapters I keep in a small zipper pouch. I bought a set of four pieces that includes 3/4 box to 1/2 square and similar for 1/2 to 3/8 and 3/8 to both square male and 1/4 hex female. I also have an impact set of flex joints 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 which actually see little use as my impact extensions are all wobble and when you use a couple in series you get around things a little better than a flex joint.
