    Torque wrench

    For those in the know which is a good one to buy. My stock needs to be removed, sanded and re coated and I want to reset it back to specifications.

    @Sarvo The FAT wrench? If you pull the bottom and twist it should wind the torque setting up or down which can be seen on the side of the body. Then tighten until the wrench clicks or release pressure indicating that it is torqued for your desired setting ��

    I have played with one of the digital FAT wrenches. It seemed to beep instead of releasing pressure when tightening to indicate you have hit your setting. I wasn’t a fan of that one.

    Looked at those FAT wrenches. Looks like I will get one once lock down is over.

    I recently bought a Toptul 1-8Nm torque screwdriver. Seems to be pretty good and all the other gear I've seen/had in this brand has been really good as well.
    I've actually done some testing on my 22lr's stock torque settings and it did make a difference.

    That's what I have and works well.
