Need a new torque screw driver

[OldWalt]

I don't trust digital torque wrenches. I've been eyeballing the Capri Tools CP21075 for my next, I like the 1 lbs increments. Wheeler Fat Wrench has worked well for me. Always bottomed out after use. Treated well - never dropped. There is always a better way though.

Saw this one and it has Vortex’s life time VIP warranty.

The Vortex is in my range bag, but the bit storage holder was not included at the time. To big for the range bag anyway. Milwaukee makes a great set of bits in a small flip case.

To all a Maaaaveelos Monday.

I have a Vortex and I like it.

I have used their hassle free warranty three times now on binoculars. One was a few melted lens parts from a pickup fire accident that were sent in for a free replacement.

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.

Had mine for years. Tommy .The guy who designed it is a PhD. good for me..

For that kind of money it ought to torque itself & serve you a cold drink at the same time. But the government will think they got a good deal.

“Military Grade”. What exactly does that mean?

Did manage to get it to adjust again but did a test of trying to torque a screw in an front rifle rest that weighed in at 20 lbs with the fat wrench set at 15lbs and the rest spun around on the table repeatedly without the Fat wrench clicking as if the rest weighed nothing so I no loner trust the inch-pound settings and are not willing to find out if they are good or not by damaging a scope.

That is not a valid test of torque wrench. Also. Just because an item weighs 20 lbs doesn't mean it will take 20 lbs of torque to rotate it...
