Air Wrench
I picked up an air wrench at home depot today (1 - 275 ft-lb air wrench, 1 - 50 ft-lb air ratchet, adapter, and an assortment of sockets for 40$ just thought i'd mention that 
) and was wondering what adapters do i need to buy so that i can set the torque to specific settings?
thanks,
nick

hellasboy,
Get a 21mm 75ft/lb torque socket. It's designed to break/snap if it goes over 75ft/lbs. This is good for your wheels. Other then that, you should not be using air tools for ANY torque sensitive nuts/bolts. Use a regular torque wrench after snug fitting the bolts/nuts with your air driver ( set on it's lowest power setting usually "1" )
Only places I know that carry such a socket are tool trucks. Matco, Mac, Snap-on etc.
