Torque screwdriver for gunsmithing

[fawksel]

G'day,

Anyone know of a specific set for a torque screwdriver for gunsmithing?

One that comes with all the right firearm specific sized bits like allen keys, flat heads, hex for scope rings... All the 'standard' stuff you need for taking apart rifles, scopes mounts and their standard bits?

Such a kit around? Or a trip to Bunnings and buy 'em all individually is the way?

Thanks.

I use one of these with the accessory kit.

Seems there is a Bunnings about every 100 metres these days, can't be that hard to get to one

My bunnings didn't have one. There are plenty of torque wrenches in foot pounds, not inch pounds which is what you need. I ended up getting a F.A.T. Wrench online instead and works as advertised.

I'm also using a Wheeler F.A.T. wrench and a Kingchrome bit set which works well, used it many times so money well spent.

+1 on the wheeler FAT wrench. Expensive but worth it.

Good tools aren't really expensive in the long run.

If you're replacing cheaper stuff every few years that's expensive.

A quality tool lasts a lifetime.

I got a Weaver torque driver part no 849728 of ebay.com.au the seller midwayaustralia. He has some on ebay at this moment.

I have the F.A.T wrench too , but I also bought the 89 piece gunsmithing kit to get the extra bits . I got the F.A.T wrench for $99 the other set was about $130 .
As a tradesman i will tell you there are no such things as cheap tools . $99 is nothing for a torque wrench , I have spent more on a shifting spanner .

I've gotta get down and take a look at some proper tools. I have a few ok ones, but for the most part I've been getting by on the 'for sale' tools you get at your corner cheap auto store and stuff like that

That stuff's not made to last...

Second hand quality tools is also a good way to go.

Second hand quality tools is also a good way to go.

Yep. As said good tools last a lifetime.

And good people take care of them too. If you can buy a cared for set second hand they're half the price and just as good as something off the shelf.

Yep second hand older sidchrome and the like are twice as good as the newer stuff , pity you mentioned this its how I get 90% of my stuff , now you've
let out the secret
