Borka EFK2 vs. FixIt Sticks

[FA Duk]

Considering one or the other. Any pros and cons I should consider? The FixIt seems a bit simpler but has more parts to loose. Using on MPA BA and Fulton Armory AR10 chassis’s w/S&B PMIi scopes.

Love my Fix It Sticks torque limiter set-high quality and simple to use. They come in a nice pouch where everything has a home that easily fits into a range bag. I have no experience with Borka.

I love my borka. nice compact everything I need in one zippered pouch. Those are like the two top tool kits I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Both work great.
FixIt sticks allow you to carry only what you need.
Borka Kit is more versatile.

The Fix It Sticks new All in One Torque kit is a nice small package and has pretty much what you would need for the field. You could add other heads if you needed them.

Another vote for the fix-it-sticks. I had mine since they first came out. RO'ed a local match last month, and mine "walked off" the range. Oh well, I like the new case anyways; way better than the gen 1 version, molle bag they came in...

Just ordered the FixIt Sticks. Optimistic I’m moving more toward self-reliance vs depending on others!

Had a borka. Moved to this.

Nothing wrong with either system. Just a different use and mechanism but dont tell kortik that

Fix it sticks all in one torque kit for me. Works good for my needs. Very nice compact kit. Well worth it.

I just got the All In One driver and I've owned the Borka kit for a long time prior to that and for me both fulfill different roles. For a while the Borka was the one that I took with me to the range because it was able to do the job while being the most compact and lightweight solution at the time. However, operating it with one hand while trying to hold/steady a rifle could be a challenge in some conditions. The Fix It Sticks AIO is going to replace the Borka kit that rode in my tool kit because it solves the one handed use issue while offering a 15-65 in/lb torque range. The Borka will continue to live on in the kit that I keep at the bench, relegating my FAT Wrench to stand by status more than likely. In my unscientific testing of the All in One driver, it's pretty accurate, at least as accurate as the Borka and FAT Wrench so I believe that it will work for me just fine. Those are my $.02 for what they are worth.

What I REALLY like about the fix-it-sticks is I can poka-yoka (manufacturing term) what torques go where. Instead of guessing if I put 18 or 20 or 25 ft-lbs on a certain set of scope rings months later, everything is at 20 now and that is the only torque limiter in that range I have.

I took my Borka kit to work & had the tool calibration guy check it out. At first he was skeptical, then impressed as he verified the torque values at various settings. The Borka kit is very versitile & I'm glad I bought it.
Having said that, there would be considerable weight savings in just having 2 or 3 Fix-it Sticks in my pack for specific jobs.
