I got a few of our Precision Torque Limiters, calibrated to 4 inch-lbs. (Item # PTL-004H-IP).
4 inch-lbs. is a tightening torque specification for certain models of Night Force Zero Stop set screws.
PTL is very close to the size of 12 gauge 3" long shotgun shell, with weight of approximately 3 ounces.
While it is mechanically overbuilt for 4 inch-lbs. torque preset, it provides an interesting advantage: there is absolutely no need for a separate drive handle of any kind. PTL cylinder body (0.87" dia. x 2.50" long) can be used as a handle by itself, making this PTL a sort of small, but still very comfortable to use "preset torque screwdriver".
Accuracy is way better than typical +/-6%, and each PTL comes with matching, to PTL serial number, certificate of calibration, and high quality 5/64" hex bit.
Consistency, durability and life expectancy of PTL-004H-IP are exceptionally high - no surprise here, as it is built on the same strong PTL platform as used, say, for Borka Tools PTL-090H-IP, preset to 90 inch-lbs.
In line with prices for all other single PTL kits, this one is $35 + $8 shipping by USPS Priority Mail. Take note that very low torque Precision Torque Limiter is somewhat more expensive than higher torque PTL. In this case, I'm compensating for initial higher cost by not including compact ratchet drive handle, which is simply not needed...
If any of you, gentlemen, are interested to get hold of such tool, while I have a few of them available, please send an e-mail to:
