Never had a problem with it throwing off torque values. At least not that I can tell. The torque wrench mates with the multi wrench in the manner in which you've described. Certainly a good tool to have.

There are calculations to figure this out but I believe all the torque values are given in ranges so just target the middle of the range and all should be good

Ok awesome, just the information I was looking for. Now for the next question, where can I get a torque wrench? Walmart? A car part shop?

I was fortunate to borrow one. Once you use it one time, you'll realize its not needed. When you tighten the barrel nut, you'll face two options. Stick with the notch its at or tighten a little harder and get to the next one. 9 times out of 10, go to the next one. It's not rocket science.

Torque wrenches are invaluable tools, don't skimp and go for a cheap, buy one that will last awhile and take care of it, if possible get a hard sided case for it.

If you place the torque wrench 90 degrees to the barrel wrench, no calculations are needed.

Since I only used mine to build a few ARs, I just went to Harbor Freight. Came in a hard case - was cheap and worked fine.
IMO 100% balls on torque isn't necessary. If you are in the higher part of the range, you should be good. YMMV. |
