Torque Wrench

[MetalCutter]

After twisting off a screw in a scope mount I’m looking for a torque wrench or screwdriver. Did a search and there are lots of options in the inch/pound variety. T-handle models which seem to be set at a specific torque value or screwdriver types with adjustable settings. I'm thinking adjustable settings would be more useful for different uses. Any recommendations for a specific brand or style?

Wheeler FAT Wrench, or Firearm Accurizing Torque wrench, was made just for this. Firearms is even in the name.

We all have them because that work. There is a high end (and more expensive) brand that used to be on the Sniper's Hide web site. I'll post it here if it is still there.

The key is they work and are readily available.

Before I bought mine I looked for a small torque wrench and there wasn't much available that I trusted. That was shortly after they came out if memory serves.

FAT wrench owners just remember to turn them back to zero when you put them up. It is in the instruction manual but I know how that goes.

I just borrow a Snap-On 1/4" drive torque wrench from work.

You are the one who pointed out this thread's consistency and then you ruin it.

I too use a FAT wrench BTW.

There’s no explaining some folks.

I forget to do this all the time.
