    Torque wrench/screwdriver

    Any gunsmiths or amateur gunsmiths who can make a recommendation regarding a nice torque wrench for firearm's work?

    Looking at a Wheeler set.

    Price has gone up quite a bit since I got mine. I still like it, but I'm not sure I'd pay the premium for it today.

    Thank you guys. I went with Lyman Pro Drive Torque Wrench that Natchez Shooters Supply had in stock.

    Fix it sticks are the best I've ever used. Extremely versatile as well.

    If you want a buy once, cry once sort of deal buy the Wiha, it is super accurate and the absolute top of the line, made in Germany:

    (You will need to buy the bit holder separately as well, costs about $15)

    I've used a FAT Wrench several times, both a borrowed unit and my own, newly purchased unit. Seems ok. I think @LittleLebowski likes his too.
