Looking to pick up a torque screwdriver for working on my rifles. I was curious to see what you all have and use in this department?

Utica TS-30.  Pretty much just use it for scope mounting..specifically, ring screws.  Works great.

Got the same recently.  Decent quality and appears to work well.  The price was nice too.

I just use the one God gave me.  If it comes loose, I tighten it more; if it strips, I curse and use less the next time.  But first I make sure the threads are smooth, clean and burr free.

Consistent torque plays a huge role in accurate shooting, even if you disregard the physical aspects of damaging or losing equipment.

This is exactly why I posted. Been reading a lot on the effects of proper torquing & accuracy lately. I used to be the old school "turn it till its tight...then turn one more time"

Can anyone that uses them more often comment on the accuracy and consistency of the Wheeler FAT? I don't have any issues with anything coming loose or being stripped with it, so that's all I can judge by.

Same.  Bought it after I messed up a scope and had to have it replaced.  Not happening again.

They seem to be just fine. I bought the Weaver because it was bigger, and gave me more to hold onto, other than that, the Wheeler seems just fine.

I bought the Wheeler FAT a few years ago.  I used it to mount the scope on my 3-gun rifle.  That rifle has seen a lot of use all over the country.  No loose hardware and no loss of accuracy so far.
