Is it adequate for the precision game? Is the Borka torque driver better? I don't have access to a calibrated torque wrench so i'm looking for the next best thing. If you have experience with either or you have another recommendation id appreciate your input.
 
Been running a wheeler on precision gear for a couple years. Highly recommend it , im a guy that runs Swaro and Night Force optics and full custom rifles. Cannot comment on Borka but again cant go wrong with the wheeler
 
Don't buy wheeler, is piece of junk. not accurate....

borka is better not need to be calibrate , and accurate for a long time, but more $$$,, i have one and i like it :) i trust borka , but not a cheap torque wrench like wheeler....

Im sure there is better than Wheeler ... as far as not being accurate I can vouch that mine is bang on. Ive checked it against Snap on Torque wrench was bang on. It has also been reliable for 3 years and counting.

I know if you don't set them back to zero when your done and let them sit for long periods of time it can fk them up ... I havnt done that
 
ok ,,, ,,,,,you have verify calibration on wheeler ??? wheeler need another tool to verify if is calibrate ...lol

ok go borka :)

I've read good comments about the Weaver Gunsmithing Torque Wrench but haven't used one. I'm going to the states next week and plan to look for one. Can anybody comment first hand about the Weaver torque wrench?
 
I have a Borka and would take it over a Wheeler Fat wrench in a heartbeat. The Wheeler is Chinese junk but better than nothing. I also have a Seekonk torque screwdriver which is a quality tool but the Borka is much more versatile, especially in the field or at the range.
