What are you all using for your inch pound torque wrenches? I saw a few older posts on this and figured maybe it was time to ask the question again. Im looking for something to torque my action, scope bases, rings...you name it. I see there are many options out there between Wheeler, Vortex, NightForce, CDI, and Fix It Sticks to name a few. I read reviews and watched several videos where people have tested them for accuracy and most seem to be well within the parameters of a normal hunter such as myself. Im looking for some factual first hand use of what you all like.

I am leaning toward the Fix It Sticks due to their modularity. I really like the torque limiters for specific jobs that I assume would result in constant torque from one job to another. Hit the required poundage and thats its. Id also likely get the all in one torque driver but am a little questioning of consistability there. You tighten until the mark lines up on your poundage...maybe its not that big of a deal but it would be easy to over or under tighten between screw to screw but I like the flexibility of being able to hit practically any poundage and not needing a specific limiter for every single inch pound since so many different jobs require a different torque.

Anyway, Im open to pros, cons or whatever for all the brands out there but specifically the Fix It Sticks if you have first hand experience
 
You might think about something like EWK 1/2-inch Drive Heavy-Duty Digital Torque Adapter 12.5-250 ft-lbs and it has many other uses as well, kind of handy tool... Just a thought... Cheers
 
12.5ft/lbs is 150in/lbs. I don't know of any use that could be for rifle/scope work.
Just thinking; rings only seemed to need 15 to 25 lbs it's an adapter, so adapt it to a 1/2 inch, smith driver and extension, that's pretty much what a Wheeler is... or not. 🤔 🫡 :) Cheers
