Torque Wrench Which One?

[james]

Need to purchase a torque wrench for small jobs, tighten scope bases, rings, install optics on pistols etc. looking for recommendations.

Thanks

I've used the Wheeler F.A.T. wrench for a few years now and works well for me.

I have the Wheeler Fat wrench, no issues, seems accurate enough for my varmint rifles. I just received a few weeks back some of the Fix-it stick torque tools, just because I wanted 'em. I was putting a new stock on a RFBR rifle over the weekend, and did a rough comparision between the two on the action screws. I set the actions screws at 25 in/# with the Fix-it, and then tried the Wheeler, I could not see the action screws move before the Wheeler tool broke free so to speak.

Or get one designed for push bikes. Smaller that automotive and can ususally be found on auction sites. I got mine used from a local supplier. 1/4 drive. You don't need much accuaracy - so long as the torque is consistant.

I've gone through 2 FAT wrenches. I have a Wiha now.

I've been pleased with Wera torque screwdrivers for rings and bases.

I have a fat wrench and fixitstixs been happy with both.

I have both the Wheeler FAT wrench and the fix it sticks. I find that I use the fix it sticks about 95% of the time.

I'd love to see a test of various brands of torque wrench's and how accurate they are. I've had a gunsmith tell me that the FAT wrenches can be pretty inaccurate. (that's what I use at the moment.)

I have Wiha & theFat one. Both work fine. However, the dial on Wiha is more precise.

This guy has 4 vids(?) on the torque screwdrivers, he seems to be testing them properly.

Take a look at Tekton. No issues with mine other than trying to remember to turn adjustment to zero after each use.

I think I may have used every type, make and model of torque wrench known to man...after all of that, I use Wiha for my firearms.

If you have a tool & die shop in town or reasonably close, take your torque wrenches (tools) to them and ask them to calibrate them if you really want accuracy. A few bucks removes the anxiety.

I've had mine a couple of month, used the wheeler fat thingy before but didn't like the "tone" also Vortex has one I like really well.

I like fix it sticks for portability and the ability to unscrew things with the same kit.

I have used a Borka for years. Not sure where one can find one these days
