For use with rings & mounts, mostly...
I like the Borka --- compact, but is it accurate? The Wheeler Fat is supposedly accurate, but a little much to carry for the field / range Seekonk T-Handle's are only good for higher inch/pounds and are comparatively expensive. Other choices? |

I like to pick the number I want so I use this. I also have a HarborFrieght 20-200in/lb that I use mostly for my cycle. I prefer the beam type.

First I bought the Harbor Freight, because it was inexpensive (especially with a 20% off coupon). Then I got the Borka, for my range bag. Then, I had a credit at a store, and the Wheeler was on sale...so.... Shit just happens. |

I bought the Borka wrench set. I got into the game with a Seekonk 15 in-lb T-handle. I like the feel of it better than Borka, but bought Borka to have a compact and complete set for my bench and range bag..

Borka.
One of the more useful things I've bought for tinkering on guns. I can't vote on the poll for some reason. |

This is a good read on various wrenches that were tested on another forum.

I really wanted my Borka torque wrench tested and even sent it to him; he had it for over a month and sent it back due to the "machine" not being replaced or repaired. |

I got the Wheeler Fat Wrench. It was what was available when I was looking. But I've been happy with it. The case it comes in would probably be too big to pack through the woods, but it fits in a range bag really well. Or just leave it in the car. The case can also hold a small tube of Loc-tite. I have had to make adjustments at the range a couple of times and loaned it out many more times than I've used it myself. It's a great thing to have and for about $40, very worth it.

yeah, they're nice. i like the borka a bit better though just because it's variable. the fixit sticks are fixed at one torque value, but they are a little more compact for carrying

Several from 5 inch/pounds up to 250 foot/pounds....Snap On. But then I use them on aircraft, do not think anyone would trust their lives to Harbor Freight.

I use my torque wrenches for car stuff, my hand is fairly well calibrated for low torque stuff and have never had a problem with firearm things coming lose or stripping threads etc. *shrug* no harm in knowing the correct spec and actually doing it properly though.
