Sterling Axle Nut Torque

Hi, so I just re-assemble my rear hub and went to torque it to 55 ft.lbs., then back it off 6 clicks. Then I found out my torque wrench doesn't measure tightening counter clockwise. Who sells a torque wrench that measures torque when tightening left handed threads?

Thanks

On the Drivers side the axle nut, that self locking clicking type nut that takes the four pronged socket is a lefty. I got an Armstrong, click type torque wrench that registers counterclockwise. Hope to get this dude wrapped up today.
