Gunsmithing i need a good torque/tool set

[madppcs]

Fellas, I need a good torque wrench and tool set for my current and future projects. I'm about to install my aics and re-mount my scope because I noticed a gap on one side of my scope rings. The only thing I don't have is a torque wrench. I have all the miscellaneous bits and Allen wrenches, but there all seperate in my toolbox.
Is there a good handy set that will accommodate most stocks, scopes and any other special tools that I might need as I continue to learn?
Thanks!

I don't know what your budget is, but snapon makes a inch pound nut driver that comes with a set of 50 bits. Lifetime free replacement and free calibration. I think I paid about $175 for mine ten years ago. I have the calibration checked about 4 times a year and it has only had to be adjusted twice. The bits that come with it I would say they are as good as the brownells bits. Just my 2 cents.

I've got a Wiha set on the work bench, and a Borka set in the shooting bag.
Both are first-class stuff.

Poke here for the Borka.

The Borka is awesome, but it only goes up to 72 in/lbs. AI's latest torque spec is 89 in/lbs for action screws. Google "CDI torque wrench", they have good stuff.

just give it to your buddy, he will take care of you.

It will still take more than a AI stock for you to out shoot me.

For light-duty stuff (up to 65 lb-in), I've got a couple of the Seekonk T-handle preset torque wrenches and a Wheeler FAT wrench. For stuff beyond that, I have a variety of Snap-On torque wrenches in both the dial and "clicker" type. All except the FAT wrench were picked up on eBay for a fraction of the new cost.
