Starting to do the majority of my bike maintenance now so I decided to invest in the smaller Park torque wrench (have never used a torque wrench before).
Question is: Where do I get the attachment to allow me to tighten allen screws or phillips screws? As of now, the only thing that I'd be able to do is connect a socket to the torque wrench, which obviously isn't all that helpful for most bike work. Searched the Park website to no avail. My guess is that I have to go to Sears or Home Depot??
Am I correct in assuming that I'll need hex bits to use the wrench (i.e., that L-shaped allen wrenches cannot be somehow attached)?
I'm ordinarily not a do-it-yourselfer (but working on bikes is fun), so please excuse the likely high-general-purpose-tool-ignorance-factor associated with this question.
Thanks for the help-
