I use the Wheeler FAT Wrench. It comes with a small selection of bits and a plastic storage case. Sure, I'd like to have a Snap On, but the FAT wrench works fine.

Same here, no complaints with the FAT wrench. Just be sure to crank the adjustment down before storing it to maintain it's accuracy for the long run. It's far from the best tool around, but at or under $45 it's the best deal going, I think.

I keep a Wheeler FAT wrench on my bench and a Borka kit in my range bag

Harbor Freight has one that goes down to 16 in/lbs.

You don't have stick with firearm related torque wrenches. I picked up a Proto 0-150 inch pound for less than $50.

That is a good deal. Was that brand new?

It was second hand. Either off here before the first move, or off Castboolits. Looked for about two weeks to find it.

I picked up this one a couple years ago. It's worked great for me. It only gets light use since I don't really have a need for it except for my rifle.

If you only need it for things like rings, action screws etc save a little bit and buy a Borka.

The Borka tool can be a little quirky to use but with the bit selection and its "fit in the range bag size" its a great tool if you can only afford one tool.

If Im working at the bench I like other tools but the Borka is always in my rifle bag.

I also got one from Harbor Freight. Bought it in a pinch a few years ago and it's worked well enough I haven't felt the need to replace it.

You could take a look at fix-it sticks. They are a great in the range bag option and you can start with just a few of the common torque settings.

I had a custom borka setup, which was great, but only gave me two torque settings.

I now use this and it is great for my needs.

3/8" Blue Point, Fat Wrench, 1/4" Harbor Freight all click at the same inch/lbs. The Fat Wrench is handy. Can usually get the Harbor Freight for $10 with coupons.

I like my fat wrench. Cheap enough to leave one on the bench and keep one in the field bag.

Wheeler Fat. It comes with the case and bits, I added some bits more in to the case, I carry it everytime . Very handy.
