The Fix It Sticks torque driver is a combined kit intended for most rifle requirements. The kit comes in a zipped Cordura case holding both the main torque driver, in a T- wrench configuration, as well as a selection of bits for scope rings and action screws etc. All of them use the standard Hex drive format, allowing you to add and customise to your needs. 15 different bits are provided: T10, T15, T20, T25, 3/32”, 5/64”, 1/8”, 5/32”, 3/16”, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm Allen keys, P1, slotted 5mm. Everything fits into a moulded polymer tray to prevent things from getting lost or from rattling if used as a portable toolkit. The ability to use the 1/2” socket and 1/4” bit adapter ensures more versatility when adding socket bits. The T-handle driver allows you to slacken off any component with plenty of leverage, before transferring the bit to the torque wrench. The driver is rated from 15-65 in-lbs (1.7-7.3 Nm) and rather than a breakaway click that is pre-set, you simply turn the T-handle until the correct torque is indicated. The markings are imperial but once you know the relevant conversions, having a tool like this helps you to set new kit up correctly and prevent over-tensioning and damage to components like scope tubes. It also allows repetitive tensioning of items like action screws.
