Anybody know where to by a set of metric torque adapters other then for the shirt off my back at Snap On or Mac Tools? So far all I can find are standard sizes.

sounds like he's talkin bout those things that look like socket extensions with built in socket and come in different colors for different preset torques, they help prevent overtorqued lug nuts no matter the impact wrench setting.
Harbor Freight sells those, but they snap in half if you really try to use them.

'hugh got a picture of exactly what you are looking for?
Ah, dog bones, did not know those were called torque adapters,
The ones we use are Snap-On, in inch of course,
Just checked Proto's site, don't see them,
by your reply I assume you know when using with a torque wrench to use them perpendicular to the wrench or do the math.
Yepper, sure do (there would be many helicopters in danger of falling from the sky if not!) I actually posted a little tutorial about that in the 40 section Torque thread too. But seem like, unless I drop about $350 I am not going to find a small metric set. I did find a place that sold two sizes - 12 and 14mm. Don't know why they do not have the others.
