I don't, but when I get my Rem 700 sniper rifle built I'm getting one of those T handle self-limiting torque wrenches for the action screws which will go in the case with it.

Like, Kit, I use a torque wrench for action screws on my target/benchrest rifles.

I use my Fat Wrench all the time for scope rings and bases, action screws, etc.

Yes, I have several torque wrenches that I regularly use on my rifle. 0-50 in lb, 30-200 in lb and 5-120 ft lb wrenches. The smallest is used for torquing scope rings, the middle one is used on larger nuts that spec a little more (some crossbolt scope mounts specify 55in lb). The largest is primarily used for barrel nuts and castle nuts.

I have a borka kit, it is not cheap but it is awesome and I use it a lot more then I thought I would. It has a nice ratchet that can take up to 200 lbs of force and the bits it comes with are really nice quality.

Torque wrench for my AR and a Fat Wrench for tightening scope rings, mounts, etc... I feel that they are cheap insurance to have when working on any of my firearms.

I have a Proto 1/4" in/lbs torque wrench I can adapt to about anything.

Yes. I have both inch pound 1/4" drive, and ft. lb. 3/8" drive and an even larger 1/2" drive version. I use each, but only for the few tasks that require consistent, accurate torque, like scope bases and rings, barrel nuts and such.

I bought the Borka kit and use the crap out of it on my guns and bicycles. It s amazing how much stuff is torqued to in/lbs.
I would say it is my top 5 most favorite purchases of all time. |

Yes, I used to wrench, mostly on show cars/drag race vehicles. I have Matco and snap on torque wrenches and now all they get used on is my gun stuff.

Quoted:
Although I've never messed anything up, I am bad about overtightening anything with threads. I'm considering a torque driver for my toolbox, especially since alot of guns are made from other than steel these days. Yes. I often use my FAT wrench when tightening down screws for scope rings. |

Indispensable for action screws and scope mounts. Different rifles like different amounts of torque on action screws.

I use a wheeler FAT wrench (torque bit driver) for mounting any mounts or rings. I use torque wrenches for AR barrels.
Specs exist for a reason... |

Not yet. But will. I bought a $15 Harbor Freight 20-50 ft lbs. torque wrench. Can these be trusted, or should I spend the coin for more reliable brand?
