    I need a in/lb torque wrench

    Max, thank you. I was trying to develop the "perfect" design all these years. I think it is now real close to be "perfect", as far as I'm concerned...

    I need a in/lb torque wrench

    This older "break over" version (2nd and 3rd generation design) was tested only to 80,000 cycles as opposed the current "push button" version (4th generation design), which passed 120,000 cycles. I was actually not looking to further extend the life of the torque driver, but it just happened by...

    I need a in/lb torque wrench

    I've had communication with a gentleman, who expressed his desire to post an article/review about latest Borka Torque Driver (BTD) and a kit, which he's purchased, and did not ask for a free kit. I also thought he's asked a number of interesting questions, which I've decided to post here, as it...

    I also recommend this NF torque tool set. It is composed of the Borka Tools PTLs (precision torque limiters). Worked for a couple of years with NF to make it happen... Boris Borka Tools

    I need a in/lb torque wrench

    1. I have a good idea what 308pirate means. He is not a bad guy, but he developed a negative opinion about me and my tools a very long time ago and keeps sticking it to me any time he runs into Borka on SH. Which is funny, because he knows very little about me or my tools. 2. You correctly...

    I need a in/lb torque wrench

    I've built website by myself, and have done it as an engineer and a shooter. I want potential customers to learn a lot and then make their decision based on provided information. Just a nice picture and a price, in my opinion, does not cut it. I prefer to deal with knowledgeable customers...

    I need a in/lb torque wrench

    We tested two of our production adjustable torque drivers (BTD1070-IP) to 120,000 cycles of torque application w/o getting out of +/-4% accuracy tolerance range. No re-calibration was done during this testing. 120,000 cycles (for a handheld tool) is a lot more than any individual can possibly...

    Sister in law's kid is getting married, don't want to go to the wedding or pay. What do you think?

    Suggestion for OP: just tell the other side that you can not participate because you're already dead after taking accidental Covid vaccine shot and that you'll talk to her later, when she also gets there, and hopefully, it will happen soon... Also, do not forget to mention that China is bad, and...

    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Don't be passive - just tell your employer that you'll sue your employer for a lot of money if your health is damaged by vacination, which will happen for sure if you already have enough antibodies in your system or a number of other things.(1) Then remind your employer about personal...

    Inflation.......... ?

    Prices for "serious" food is now up 10% or more in comparison to 2020. After joey and rats are done screwing around, it will likely be very close to 22-25% by the middle of the next year.

    Gunsmithing Name a high quality bit set for torquing scopes / action screws

    No, chrome plated "Borka" branded bits. We use Wiha only if we do not have SPECIFIC size bits for special applications.

    Gunsmithing Name a high quality bit set for torquing scopes / action screws

    Just sharing my personal experience with bits: 1. Bits made from S2 tool steel are "better" than the ones made from CR-V. 2. Optimal bit hardness is 58-60 HRc. 3. Correct (strictly in tolerance) bit tip geometry is extremely important. 4. Bits for outdoor use should have some kind of...

    Gunsmithing Name a high quality bit set for torquing scopes / action screws

    That is correct. If we need specific bit sizes for special applications, and we do not have these bits in our stock, we always purchase Wiha bits as a "contractor pack" of 30 pcs., which is not a bad deal...
