Reviews & Ratings for Weaver Gunsmithing Torque Wrench — 29 reviews — Page 1

This is an easy to use tool. Pull the bottom section out and rotate to your desired torque specification. It's simple to change out bits by selecting the type of bit that fits the screw heads. Works on all types of fittings. Simply selet the fitting that works, adjust the torque wrench to the technical specifications and screw in until the release point. The torque wrench will click and release the pressure when the correct amount of torque is applied. Bravo! Repeat as necessary to torque sensitive and expensive items withiut damaging components.

This Torque Wrench Kit Is Just What The Doctor Ordered. Works Great And Includes A Few Popular bit tips In the Kit. As Usual, Optics Planet Came Through With Another Great Product

I needed a torque wrench to use when mounting my scopes or making any rifle upgrades! I put it to use the day I got it and it was perfect! The case it comes in it really handy along with the different bits that are provided.

If you are serious about hunting and shooting you have to have one of these. It makes scope mounting so much easier. I never realized how badly I was over tightening the screws on my scope rings. There are also other screws that need to be precisely tightened on guns if you are looking for accuracy. It is worth every penny.

I bought this torque wrench almost 6 years ago and it is still going strong. I also have a Brownells Magna-Tip torque wrench and both wrenches agree with one another to within about 3 in-lbs. The Weaver feels sturdier to me than the Brownells. The Weaver also goes up to 80 in-lb whereas the Brownells only goes up to 70 in-lb, however the Brownells is adjustable in increments of 1 in-lb while the Weaver adjusts in 5 in-lb increments.

My only gripe regarding this item is the storage case it comes in. All Weaver gunsmithing kits come in injection molded green plastic storage cases with plastic hinges and plastic snap clasps that hold them shut. Plastic hinges and snap clasps are cheap and are prone to break when used frequently. I wish that the case was similar quality to the tool.

The bits included are:
2- .025x.18 Flat
1- .035x.08 Flat
1- .035x.300 Flat
1- .065x.430 Flat
1- 3/32 Hex Allen
1- 5/32 Hex Allen
2- T15 Hex
1- T20 Hex

The wrench is easily adjustable to the desired tension. Lots of bits fit including screwdriver, torx, hex allen wrench and even use the adapter to put a socket wrench on it for the large AR-15 PEPR or scope ring nuts. I use it regularly and found it a solid tool I can depend on.

I haven't had a opportunity to use this yet, but the product arrived on schedule and in good condition. It does appear that it will do the job that I purchased it for. I guess I will know more when I receive my Vortex Golden Eagle Scope. They are currently on back order since the demand for this new scope is so high. It may be a while.

I bought this torque wrench to be sure I did not over tighten the base screws and ring screws when mounting my riflescope. I opened the package last night, read the instructions, and attempted to adjust the torque value to the lowest setting. It was set at the factory to 80 inch pounds. When trying to adjust it down, it became tight at 60 inch pounds and would not turn any more. I tried several times, only to get the same result. There was a inspectors report packaged with the wrench. The wrench was very well packaged in a molded plastic box, so I doubt that the working order of the wrench was effected by sitting on the shelf or even from shipping. Inspector??? I am very disappointed. I will keep you updated of the end result.

It is extremely important when mounting a scope to have the tube stress free, this is accomplished by applying even
pressure to the mounting screws. Even pressure is accomplished with the Weaver torque wrench. The weaver is easy to set,
accurate and very comfortable and easy to use.
