Looking to buy a torque wrench so I can accurately tighten the bolts I'll be working with. The maintenance I plan on doing are: oil changes, transmission oil, rear differential oil, and tires.

This is going to be my first time buying a torque wrench and I'm not very knowledgeable about tools so I had a couple of questions before I make my purchase to make sure I have everything to do all of my oil and tire changes.

I currently have this tool box which has a 3/8" drive ratchet, and 14mm (for oil change) and a 10mm (for trans/rear diff) drive sockets:

I'm looking to buy this torque wrench: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C5ZL0RU...v_ov_lig_dp_it

but it is an 1/2" drive wrench and my drive sockets are 3/8" so I should get this adapter so I can use my drive sockets with the torque wrench? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OIZ86HW...v_ov_lig_dp_it

And I've read one of the bolts for rear differential/transmissions requires a hex socket and i was looking to buy this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YKLA8U...v_ov_lig_dp_it

I'd use one of the adapters from above on my 3/8" wrench so I can use the 1/2" hex bit drive socket.

Do I have everything correct, or am I missing something?

Also, do they sell individual drive sockets to connect to the 1/2" torque wrench for tire lug nuts? I've tried searching for 12x1.5 drive socket couldn't find anything.

Thanks!
