What do you use for a torque limiting screwdriver?

[auracle]

Those wheeler screwdrivers seem to be everywhere but I can't imagine them being all that accurate. or is it accurate enough. IF you aren't using that screwdriver which one are you using. These can get pretty pricey fir occasional use, especially the German made ones like Wiha

Not sure about the wheelers, but the ones from The EU can be pretty good.
They can be less expensive than damaging what you are working on.
Removing broken fasteners, repairing or replacing whatever was damaged can take a lot of time and money.

I use the wheeler up to 40 inch/lbs, after that I go to a small torque socket wrench.

I use a very nice German torque wrench called Gudntite.

I have a FAT (firearm accessory torque?) wrench. Seems to work well.

Well done. I almost Googled it.

I use a small 1/4" socket torque wrench and the Wheeler gunsmith driver bit kit. Good 'enough that I haven't stripped anything.

If you want precision quality tools that will last then shop fir just that and be prepared to spend. I bought one from Jet and have mounted dozens of scopes with it. Snap On is also a good choice.

Buy once, cry once.

I feel that is especially true for a torque wrench. You need it be accurate and if you cheap out and get one you don't trust then there is no point. There is a temptation to cheap out because you probably won't use it often but you will wish you hadn't.

I use a Wiha 10-50 inch pound torque screwdriver. It's a bit pricey but you only have to buy it once.

I know. you're right of course. If I don't want to spring for the torque screw and levels just get a smith to mount it with the correct tools.

It's discounted right now on their website with free shipping. might be the right time to get one.

The Wheeler FAT wrench is OK for the money. Definitely Snap-On for a quality one though.

I use this:

Made by CDI which is a Snap-On Brand, only thing you have to do is convert NM to ft/lb or whatever is needed. I just use a sharpie and put the common conversions on the tool itself.

It's even better when you attempt to say it with a German accent.

Well done. I almost Googled it.
