    Torque screwdriver recommendations

    I'm looking for a torque screwdriver for my nightforce unimount. The wheeler has allot of reviews of it simply not working. The vortex only goes to 50inch pounds and the mount calls for 63inch pounds. Give me some ideas please.

    Thanks

      I use a Walker Fat Wrench and a Tekton that both work well. The Walker is a screwdriver configuration and the Tekton is a 1/4" drive ratchet.

        Crusty yours only goes to 50 inch pounds. I need one that goes to 63. I will look up the Walker.

        Thanks.

              I like my FATty.

                Fat wrench here as well, not 100% sure it is totally accurate but at least have not stripped out any screws since I got it.

                    I ordered from Fixitsticks.com. I have not received them yet, but from what I’ve read they are accurate torque limiter.

                      Wheeler fat wrench for me.

                      Works well settings seem to be very close to markings and hasn't failed me in two years of lots of use.

                        Wheeler works for me, but I just paid $60 for a Husky 1/4" drive torque wrench that goes up to 200 inch pounds at Deposito de Casa.

                          Amazon has the Wheeler fat wrench at a pretty good price right now......I'd go that route.

                            Well, I've been using the F.A.T. wrench for 3-4 years, now. Only checked it once (when I first got it) and it was within an inch or two of my indicating torque wrench at 50 lb/in.

                            Like all things mechanical, I'm sure it is wearing in, but these things typically wear lighter, not tighter.
                            If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

                              Thanks, i did order the fat wrench. I was looking at wheeler's digital one but to many bad reviews on it.
