I have Borka torque tools but... My go to for anything quick is CRAFTSMAN Torque Screwdriver Set. Here a video on it https://youtu.be/vQwTtG2e1qY?si=hhfNeO4u-Icv1gWt

Is this worth the investment over the wheeler fat wrench kit?

[-]

Cool-Tip8804@reddit

Most likely not.

You just need more bits for the wheeler. I don’t see how paying more benefits you more at all.

[-]

hitemlow@reddit

Looks like they have the Vortex Torque Wrench for $7.50 more.

[-]

Dr_Otacon@reddit

Is one of these way better than the other. I have the wheeler fat wrench but trying to figure out which one of these I want to put in my range bag for field repairs

[-]

Cool-Tip8804@reddit

I’d ask myself, is there anything you can do better when it comes to torquing?

If so. Does your gun suffer from not being precisely torqued?

[-]

blockdad1@reddit (OP)

The Vortex kit looks nice. It does appear to designed to sit on a bench vs being thrown in a bag.

[-]

The FixIt Sticks kit has a ratcheting T-handle and some Glock-specific tools, so it seems more apt for disassembling long screws and such. For mounting scopes and torquing them down, I'd trust the Vortex kit more.

Mind sharing the link?

Looks like they're backordering now, but still ~$30 off.

My optics are all Vortex defender series. Wonder if this one is a better option for my case.

iliekdrugs@reddit

Every company is sourcing cheap chinese fasteners lol

[-]

indiglowaves@reddit

Not sure what you mean with this comment.

[-]

iliekdrugs@reddit

Why would the Vortex screwdriver be a better option because you have a vortex dot?

[-]

MakeGunsGreatAgain@reddit

+1 but… I enjoy the individual ratchet limiters over the all in one.

[-]

Whartime@reddit

I’ve heard that in a number of YouTube videos over the years, why is that? Ease of use?

[-]

Total_Regardz@reddit

The individual torque limiter "CLICKS" like you get with normal torque wrenches when you've reached the proper torque setting.

The "All In One" torque device that's included with this kit isn't a "limiter" (It doesn't click). You apply torque and watch the line move. You need to physically stop turning when you see the line reach your desired torque. It's like the older, bending bar torque wrenches.

Midway's title is a little bit misleading but if you read the product description for what's in the kit it'll correctly state what you're getting.

TLDR: The torque device you're getting is not a 'clicker'

[-]

blockdad1@reddit (OP)

Have you ever wanted to hit a torque value other than one of your set values? In theory, without the click you can eyeball 18 in lbs by turning just past the 15 in lb marking.

[-]

MakeGunsGreatAgain@reddit

I’ve got the all in one as well for those cases, but generally I do have the right torque limiter for most of my uses (15, 25, 35, 45, etc.). They sell a version of this set with individual limiters 👍

[-]

Whartime@reddit

Very helpful, thank you!

[-]

Total_Regardz@reddit

Yea..I wrench all my cars, motorcycles, mtn bike, etc and the right tool for the right job is always nice. Sometimes I want the click and sometimes I go by feel (or both). Both have their usefulness but for really small applications that are sensitive to over-tightening I prefer to have a click for the value specified. It's faster, safer, and easier to use. But it is definitely more expensive to have individual click limiters.

This vs FAT Wheeler?

[-]

K1ngofKa0s@reddit

They have a limiter that goes up to the 140 in/lb torque needed for the LMT barrels. I have an extra one I tried unloading on GAFS but no one wanted it.

The fox it sticks are hands down better than the Fat option. I started with a Fat and it's hot garbage in comparison.

Ok-Counter-1251@reddit

Check Rooftop, Sol has LMT torque wrench on sale, 12%off with code “cider”

https://www.rooftopdefense.com/product/lmt-torque-wrench-for-mrp-and-mws/

If you run LMT system, is this the tool u want to have :)

[-]

nope_noway_@reddit

Eh if I was like 40-50 shipped I’d do it…I have a in-lb torque wrench I can use. No need to spend more money

[-]

Automatic_Hat7833@reddit

OpticsPlanet (as much as I hate them) has these for 89 shipped.

[-]

blockdad1@reddit (OP)

Ratcheting handle?

[-]

Rickbobbie@reddit

Been looking for a range kit, but seems very expensive... This versus tools at Harbor Freight?

[-]

Fun_truckk@reddit

Once in a blue moon these go on sale for $25: https://www.harborfreight.com/locking-flex-head-ratchet-and-bit-set-35-piece-58074.html

I use mine constantly. Wish I had 3 more. No torque limiting device tho.

[-]

blockdad1@reddit (OP)

I like the Wiha Go Box a lot.

[-]

slammedsam2k@reddit

I keep this in my range bag and have a fat wrench at home. I figure the harbor freight kit is good enough to get me home and then ill re-torque it with the fat wrench

[-]

indiglowaves@reddit

I just got the Wheeler FAT wrench non-digital and was incredibly disappointed at the limited star bits, or torque bits- not sure what they’re called. But none of them were small enough to fit any screws for my optics or optic plate screws. I got a small cheap bit set otw from Amazon but yea.

This one seems to cover it all.

[-]

GuyButtersnapsJr@reddit

Midway also has the same kit, but with a non-racheting T wrench - $108... Cabela's and Bass Pro Shop have it for the same price as well.

I think the OP kit's racheting wrench is worth the extra $4.

[-]

8492_berkut@reddit

Oh, I've got this kit in my bag. I use it all the time. Great product and worth the money.

[-]

laterisingphxnict@reddit

Shows $152.99 for me.

[-]

thornkin@reddit

Fix it sticks are great! These and the torque measuring tool make gun work so easy.

I can't quite find this kit elsewhere, so I don't know how good a deal this is or not. It is rhe same as the optics kit which is $120 but upgrades to the ratcheting wrench and adds a glockntool pack.

[-]

double07killor@reddit

Don't have this specific kit but have everything inside... that ratching t-handle is the handiest thing for working on about anything, and the torque stick works great.... if you're thinking about it just pull the trigger ;)
