Torque Wrench Help

I have seen a torque wrench that I can use for most of the sensitive areas on the bike but I cannot seem to find any hex bits to use with it for stems bolts etc. Does anyone know where I can find these? The Wrench I'm getting has a 3/8" fixing but I have an adapter in my socket set so I guess it can be either. I was looking on CPC (where I have seen the wrench) so if you could tell me the name of what I am looking for (I thought it would be "hex sockets" which I know is kind of a contradiction but I am at a loss here) or if you could find some in there that would be even better [:D]
Thanks

ok the names are US but ask any toolshop and they should know what you want.
i also think you may find you need to recheck the torque figures on the wrench and the recomended figures on park and check the Units are the same.

Nick you are a legend! That's exactly what I'm after. I managed to find some on fleabay from your descriptions so thanks [:D]
I have checked the torque tables in the back of Zinn and then done all the conversions (my head now hurts) so the wrench I am getting has the correct range (starting at 6Nm so is low enough for stem bolts which are my main worry).
Thanks again!

You can get just about everything you need in 3/8" square drive: allen bits, torx bits, etc.
I got much of mine from, but do not work for, Tooled Up: http://www.tooled-up.com
Follow the link and put "3/8 hex" into the search field. They also do a T25 bit plus a 1" socket for your Park FR5 cassette lockring thang. Etc, etc.
