Cheers. That's a good shout.
I'd rather have it ASAP as well and Halfords have one in stock near me.
Just to double check, I need a 3/8" Female to 1/2" Male.... because my wrench is male and the socket is female, so the adapter mirrors this?

Looks to be the right part, yes. Although what I said about the adapter not moving you further out seems wrong, based on the picture. Still shouldn't be a problem if you hold the torque wrench head in place as you tighten.

I had the same issue and Halfords was the only place I could find that I could walk into that sold that adapter. Screwfix, Toolstation and assorted DIY shops near Gt Portland St drew a blank.
It does move the wrench a bit further from the bolt and leads to a bit of extra wobble, but it's not a massive issue. I was using it with the Shimano external BB tool and it did the trick.

If you don't need a high torque and won't use it often then get an adapter, it'll be useful to have. The adapter won't move you further out as you're going from smaller to larger drive.
