I don’t know about you, but I carry a range of tools with me when I go to the range. There’s nothing worse than getting there and having a problem you could easily fix…except you don’t have the right wrench/driver/bit…whatever with you. I’ve carried a small multi-took kit with an all-in-one torque driver from another company, but Real Avid’s new Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter looks like an excellent and reasonably priced option to make sure you have the tools you need with you when you really need them.
Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns, makes do-it-yourself gun enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths the masters of attaching hardware with the introduction of the company’s all-new Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter.
The Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter is a precision-manufactured, precisely tuned in-lb torque limiter developed specifically for firearm applications. The compact, sleek design stows neatly in the toolbox or on the work bench and is ergonomically designed to ensure a positive grip for securing even high-torque screws.
With the Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter, users can adjust for any torque value between 15 and 65 in-lbs. This range covers nearly all scope mount, scope ring, and action screw torque requirements, and does so down to 1 in-lb increments.
The Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter is available separately or as part of the new Real Avid Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter and X3 Driver Kit. This kit comes with the adjustable limiter, the new X3 Driver — a modular unit that incorporates three driver systems (ratchet, T-handle, and screwdriver) — and an assortment of common driver bits, hex-to-square 1/4-inch adapter, and a 1/2-inch socket. A compartmentalized hard plastic case keeps all tools organized and secure for the work bench or the shooting bench.

i prefer torque multipliers.
cylinder heads, pre- loaded wheel bearings… sure, be accurate.
i’ve never used a gauge on anything smaller than 1/ 4- 20″.
but it’s always nice to have high quality bits.
