Borka adjustable torque driver?

Re: Borka adjustable torque driver?

LowLight did a review on it just recently. Its on YouTube so try and search on there. If I can find a link ill post it. There is a group buy going on right now. I just bought mine. Its a highly recommended tool from LL.

Edit: a little late on the draw. Thanks SP

Any recommendations on other comparable products? Thanks. </div></div>

It's a very good torque driver, 10-80 inch-lbs. range. I've imported some quantity from Taiwan, as I've liked it a lot in comparison with all others I've tried in a silmlar price range. It is relatively heavy - nearly 2 lbs., not good for carry, but good for use indoors, and can be set up to any torque values from 10 to 80 inch-lbs. Model number for this one is ATD-10x80-CRS. I check out every one of them prior to shipping, using my own gravitational type torque meter.

ATD-15x72-12FS- MG driver is my own design, kind of a diffirent animal - just 12 commonly used fixed torque settings, very compact and light - under 6 ounces, intented for carry and field use, provides good resistance to the environment and moderate abuse.

If you would like 644B, which is ATD-10x80-CRS, you can buy it from my webstore at Amazon.com or directly from Borka Tools website, which is better for me...

12 settings MG driver does not come with these hex bits, only with 2 adapters typically requested by DOD snipers.

I do have several separate sets of hex bits from 644B, which were acquired as spare parts. I can sell you MG driver and
one set of 32 hex bits. Driver is $75, 32 hex bit set is $7.50
Can be shipped in one package for free. Let me know.

Thank you.

P.S. Opps, just realized that I was talking money in the wrong section of the SH.
Should have moved this conversation to PM or Group buy section. Sorry about it.

 
Re: Borka adjustable torque driver?

I have 2 of them

They are accurate and simple to use, which to me is all I desire in a tool

The new one with the settings engraved on it is currently being evaluated by our local polcie dept armourer.
 
Re: Borka adjustable torque driver?

Thanks for info and Lowlight's review. I was thinking of getting the adjustable one, but because of good review and lighter, I decided to order a 12 setting MG driver with 32 bit set. Will await to see how it lives up to rep.
 
Re: Borka adjustable torque driver?

I made this same post in the "group buy" section

I've got one of these little tools and they are amazing. I wish I'd thought of it. In my opinion the Seekonk wrenches will be obsolete, as well as just about any other torque wrench on the market that we use in working on firearms, or anything else for that matter.

I've dropped my dial type wrench and wondered if the accuracy has been affected, it's also impractical to carry it in the field too.

This wrench is so simple and compact it can be carried anywhere and you don't even notice it.

I've seen the Seekonk wrenches anywhere from $80 to $110 for one of the T handle wrenches, and they're only good for one setting. With 12 different torque settings, this wrench is much more versatile, sturdy, handy, packable, and affordable than anything else that I've seen on the market.

Two thumbs up, this is a must have for anyone who works on a firearm, or anything that needs these torque values in the assembly process.

You probably got one from Brownells? Those are sold without
torque values laser etched on the driver arm.
