If I have a 1/2 torque wrench and use a 1/2 inch to 3/8" adapter (all my existing sockets are 3/8"), will the torque limits still be accurate?
The adaptor won't change the accuracy of the wrench. Just don't take on more than the 3/8' drive socket can take.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to siphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????
If your engine doesn't consume ANY oil it will seize???
Some people should not be allowed access to tools without books!!!
I agree with Larry. I've sheered off one 3/8" adapter doing just that. Bummer.
One thing that will change the torque specs is using long extensions. For instance, a 24" extension will not give you an accurate torque measurement. That may also depend on the quality of the extension.
