Gunsmithing Anyone using the Wiha Torque-Vario?

[PinesAndProjectiles]

I was at the local electrical supply house and they had the Wiha Torque-Vario torque driver on display. It looks like it's quite the nice little kit. Is anyone using one? If so, can you provide some feedback? I'd really like to add one to the range bag.

Here is a link for anyone interested.

I have it and I believe it is much better than the wheeler for an inline driver.

I have a Wheeler.......I suppose I'm not a big advocate of it, primarily due to it's Chinese manufatured origin and mostly "adequate" finish and materials. But, at the end of the day, it does what I expect of it and it hasn't failed or broken. However, at the $40 or $45 that I paid for it, I probably would buy it all over again, when compared to the Wiha (at almost 3 times the price). I like nice tools and I like the Wiha. But for as little as I use the Wheeler, I can't justify spending the extra money. If I used the Wheeler all the time, I think chances are good that I would eventually wear it out, then I would actually buy the Wiha. Also, the Wheeler comes with bits and a box that goes right into my reloading tackle box. Doesn't appear the Wiha has bits and a box.

Also, it seems they come in torque levels, I would want a 5-18 and an 18-62 which only doubles the cost of investment making it four times over what my fat wrench cost.

Yep, that too......

The Wiha is offered in 10-50 which is adequate for what I need. Ultimately, a 5-65 would be ideal, however you're correct in that it isn't offered. I'll take a look at the Fat wrench. Thanks!

If I were going to spend $$$ north of 100 I would get one of the Borka kits. http://www.shooterstools.com/Pages/ATD/atdkits.html
