Thanks. I suspected that it might not have been a good idea and posted that look ing for confirmation even though I will now be using a coworker's tools/garage for the job.
Anyway, when I got my torque wrench last year, I just went in and asked for "a torque wrench." They sold me one like this:

I didn't really know what they are supposed to look like, so I bought it. For future reference, is this type OK to use instead of a socket wrench or is that a bad idea for any kind of torque wrench? Also, is this type suitable for torquing the stuff on my bike or should I have gotten a traditional torque wrench?
