Pawpaw,

Most impressive.

I take it you're a retired brain surgeon...?

Once again, a big "Thank You" for all recommendations!

Thanks all for your responses!

TAM and TexasJohnBoy both recommended the same T. wrench and I'm now going to have to buy it.

rotor,

Yeah, I looked at a gun use digital torque wrench recently and it cost about $80.00.

The thing is as I mentioned previously, if one doesn't think he has to tighten down on rather delicate screws like he's connecting a line pipe flange with a spud wrench and sledge hammer, he'll probably do fine. But, yes, being something of a perfectionist, I'd like a preset-able digital torque wrench, but can't really justify the cost. Unless, there's a digital one for far less cost than $80.00 I'm unaware of it... So, what to do? Tighten less than I''d like and use blue locktite...

I'd buy the darn thing if I was using one frequently, but I don't...

Are there lower cost, decent quality digital torque wrenches available for gun part installations out there? If there are, I haven't found them...

Bob Wolff,

Just before I posted to rotor, I saw your post, but with only a cursory look, I didn't see a cost? So, is there one and if so, what is it?

Thanks!

Let's say you're going to install a red dot sight.

You don't want to over tighten the screws onto the Picatinny rail, but you don't want to under tighten either...

What to do?

Get a torque wrench use it and quit worrying or is spending the money for one really not necessary unless you're a perfectionist?

What say you?

P.S. I've always done without, but yep, I'm considering one, but then again, I've never over/under tightened anything...
