Need a new torque screw driver

If I remember right, it got to where you couldnt turn the torque adjustment. Thats been a long tiime ago so dont quote me on that. Doug
THE reason that I bought the Wheeler T handle with preset modules is that twisting the butt of my Fat Wrench was not possible sometimes due to the arthritis in my wrists.
 
I have the Wheeler and Capri. They are good at hiding from me. When needed, I use the first one that I can find. The Capri feels better in my hand.

I also have a Borka and Fix it sticks. I use the bits but have never used them to torque.
 
I’ve got an older version of this. It works good and can do any amount between the min and max.


Also have fix it sticks which is fine as long as you have the limiter that you need at the time I guess.
I've never heard of Borka (that doesn't mean a lot), but for that price I'd get the Mac Tools for $369 that looks great,
 
In the engine world, when something needs very accurate torque the dial type torque wrench is the most accurate. Theres more accurate ways to tighten a fastener than torque but that doesnt apply to guns. I have been torqueing fasteners since I was a kid so for most gun stuff I just go by feel. I know how much I can go without damage or stripping. But when I do use a torque wrench for small screws on a gun its the dial type.
 
I got a Fix-It-Sticks All-In-One kit 5 years ago. My intent was to have something compact to keep in my range bag. I have 2 Wheeler Fat wrenches I keep on 2 separate work benches but almost never use them is my Fix It Sticks are within reach. I added the extended bit for MPA action screws and a few other size bits that aren't included. I love my set and prefer it for firearms tasks over every other tool I have.
 
I bought a wheeler that had a digital display and would beep when torqued, I couldn't hear the beep. Didn't use it for 6 months, and then it was completely dead, tried a new battery, nada. I emailed them and they said it wasn't rated for 'commercial use', because I said I used it to torque lathe inserts. I won't spend a dime with them again.
