    Gunsmithing inch pounds torque screwdrivers

    Re: inch pounds torque screwdrivers Guys, what am I missing here? Has the FAT wrench been improved? I bought one a couple of years ago and it was junk -- sent it back the next day. The bits would fall out, and there was no way to know precisely what setting you are on. The dial is simply...
