Who makes a non shit inch pound torque wrench that goes to 140 inch/lb

[TheGerman]

I have the Borka setups but looking at the webpage they seem to max their limiters out at 80 in/lb.

I need 140 inch/lb for the MRAD barrel change and of coarse, when googleing, I'm flooded with shittastic Made in China garbage.

USA Made. Calibrated. No bullshit. Who makes one that doesn't suck and will only be used for the MRAD (i.e. I don't need one that will be used in a garage 12 hours a day for 35 years).

I bought a NAPA digital tongue wrench a couple years back when they were changing manufacturers. $140 range. I got lucky, mine only goes down to 120 and up in inch/pounds. Check out wheeler fat wrench($80ish). I don't think they break the bank and work when installing scopes with less inch/pound ratings.

I think the DTA has a preset T wrench? Not sure who makes it?

Check out Seekonk.

This. If you want quality, you're going to pay for it.

Snap-On click-type torque wrench is the way to go imo. I certainly don't have the experience of some but I have been a Diesel Truck/Heavy Equipment technician for the last 14 years. I have purchased and used mainly Snap-On tools from the beginning with a little Matco here and there. Matco is another trusted company of which I would recommend to anyone. Needless to say, I use these tools to make a living so I need something I can trust 100%. You definitely get what you pay for when you buy Snap-On or Matco.

CDI makes torque wrenches for Snap On: https://www.amazon.com/CDI-1501MRMH...&sr=8-1&keywords=cdi+inch+pound+torque+wrench

 

[AnschutzNerd]

Or...
You could try 11.5-ft/lbs.

Another vote for CDI Torque wrenches.

I use the CDI wrenches. I have both the low range and high range wrenches. Top quality.

 

[Spectre23]

I have been liking Tekton tools lately. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M12284X?ref_=ams_ad_dp_asin_1 And it goes to 150. And I honestly like my Craftsman micro click torque wrenches more than the snap-ons I have used. My dad was always one of those guys that had to have snap-on or Mac (hell he has 3 of those enourmous Macsimizer toolboxes loaded with them) so I have used them plenty and used them to double check calibration. I never had a problem with cheaper torque wrenches. But I take care of them too.

I use one similar to this:
40-200 inch/lb

Snap on is the way to go. I have two smaller inch lbs models from them, one of which is 30-200 inlbs. You can pick up snap on stuff in pawn shops for 20-25% of what they run new. If buying used you should have it calibrated, you're local snap on dealer can have it done for a small fee. It will save you a lot of money in the long run.

You sure it isn't the other way around?

 

[plong]

You sure it isn't the other way around?

100% sure. Snap On torque wrenches have been made by CDI for a long time. Ultimately Snap On ended up buying CDI; they're now a member of the "Snap On family of companies..." you don't have to take my word it's on their web site, check it out...

You should try Snap-On they might be able to help and they are pretty good, I also have a couple that are 1/4" drive that are metric settings, If you like I will find out who made them because no doubt they make them in metric and imperial,

Good luck and I hope you find the answer soon.

Wiha makes a torque screwdriver in inch lbs 20-70

Let me save you a lot of time and trouble, save your money and just buy an MRAD.

Oh, wait, you did that already. Sorry, spirit animal signing off.

Oh ya! A little taste of his own medicine... The MRAD is never the wrong answer, even when there is no question.

Exactly: question: "which scope should I put on my .22LR to shoot 25yds?" answer: "an MRAD, or you suck at life!"

Im just a jealous prick that can't afford TheGerman 's toys anymore though, so I'll be happy in my role as spirit animal

 

[TheGerman]

CDI has them for like $125, same version as the Snap On. You just have to make sure you order it off their site as the ones on Amazon seem to be China made.

Having problems keeping the house cold? Buy an MRAD. Car making a weird sound? Buy an MRAD. Wife having her time of the month? Buy an MRAD.

 

[IanHusaberg]

I'm going to have to agree with "The German" here, even thought they don't make a 22 conversion for the MRAD. Maybe that guy does suck at life? If you have to ask what scope you need at 25 yards. You could use Irons sights or any scope for that matter. There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

Hey are you using both of your shorter rails for your mrad? If not I need an extra and will buy it from you.

Wiha
Seekonik
Snap On
CDI

Or you can go to any automotive store and buy one in foot-pounds and do the conversion from 140 in/lb to foot-pounds.

This is true, and will work, but I'd caution that virtually all torque wrenches are most accurate when the torque being applied is in the middle of their available range. Accuracy is less precise at either the lower or upper limits of their range. The really good ones still have acceptable accuracy at their extremes, but are also even more accurate in the middle of their range. If you're buying a wrench for one specific job, I'd try to choose one that 140 in lbs. falls somewhere near the middle of its range. Most wrenches in ft lbs are not going to have 11.5 ft lbs in the middle of the range.

Agreed. I think Seekonik is a good choice because you can custom order a T-Handle one that is hard-set to whatever, single weight you specify. So, while it isn't adjustable, it's more accurate. And I think OP said all he wants is 140 in/lbs.

If he needs an adjustable one, that's tougher. Because I don't think you'll find one that goes from like 18 in/lb (for scope rings) all the way to 140 in/lbs.

 

[Citius7]

We use the Armstrong 10 to 100 inch lbs. works fantastically

Old thread, but what about Fix it Stix?

Old thread, but what about Fix it Stix?

I'm using it and it's been solid for me

 

[TheOE800]

My Seekonk says my Fix-It isn’t calibrated tightly.

 

[hlee]

Any decent ft-lb drivers that are accurate in the 10-12 ft-lb range?

 

[Aftermath]

My Seekonk says my Fix-It isn’t calibrated tightly.

Between every different set of torque wrenches I have compared, no 2 are calibrated the same.
I don't think that really matters all that much unless you were to use all 6 to torque your same plane bolts.
I think as long as each one is consistent, and you use just that one to tighten whatever it is you want to torque, you are ok.
Consistent with that one tool.
Within reason, of course. If your setting is 15 inch pounds, for example, and your wrench doesn't click (or the beam reading, or whatever) is off so much that you are way off, say more than 25%, you might actually warp something or stretch some threads.

Torque Wrench Shootout: Reviews + Tests

As I mentioned in this thread: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/torque-wrench-reviews.7136523/ , the torque wrench I’ve been using for the past seven years was stolen. Since I needed to replace it, I decided to grab a few different options and test them to see which one I liked the...

[black5.3]

I have been using CDI for a long time now. You could used to send them back in and they would check calibration/adjust if they needed it for free. Idk if that has changed since Snap-on acquired them. I haven’t sent my stuff in several years.
