Oh man, I have been using a Borka for years. Was at Sportsmans Warehouse and they had the FAT on sale for $40.  Picked one up and used on my new LT 104 mount and what a difference.  The Borka is Hong in the lonely tool box, tools that are no longer used.

This FAT is so easy to use.  Why did I not buy one earlier.  I have dedicated Seekonks for my LMT MRP barrels, these are great, but for small screws and mounts, the FAT is going work just fine.

I am sorry, Wheeler Engineering Torque Screwdriver, FAT stands for Firearm Accurizing Torque wrench. 10-65 in-lbs range.

Digital one?  They make a digital?

For the money it's probably the single best bang for the buck that any gun owner can buy.  I got mine a few years wondering if it would ever get used more than once or twice and now I can't imagine not having one.

Yep.  Few $$ more but goes 15-100in/lbs as well as changes to kg/cm and N/M.  Comes in a plastic case with 10 bits.  Will live readout, or you can dial in a torque spec and it will give you audible indicators when youre close, and spot on.

Also is calibrated within 2%, comes with a signed calibration chart, and i believe can be recalibrated.

Worth the $$$ to me.
