I am happy with ALL my HF purchases. Although I note prices are going UP!

I think you are right the 1/2 inch driver is the way to go.

However...

I feel obligated to point out its not really necessary to use a torque wrench on your wheels. I use the one that comes with the car with a cheater 1 1/2 inch PVC white plastic water pipe about 18 inches long. I guess I torque them to about 25 ft lbs I am crippled and if in an emergency had to r and r a wheel wouldnt be able to do ones t'd to 80 ft lbs.

Maybe mag wheels need TR's?

Just came back from HF. I got the torque wrench, then I saw the 21mm socket, then I remembered I needed a tire air pressure gauge, and then I saw towels to clean my hands after dealing with oily stuff and I finally remembered about a coupon for a free power outlet. Why does this happen?

Edit
------
I bought the socket, but it says impact socket. I didn't do any research as I remembered about while in store and I'm not sure if it's ok to use on the torque wrench. It does fit.

An impact socket is heavy duty so it will not break with an impact wrench. As long as it fits you are fine.

It will be fine. Ive seen that exact socket in HF. I bought an entire metric set of impact sockets and have used the 21mm on breaker bars.

Its just more convient to use the supplied wrench with a cheater for road duty.
