Torque Wrench for Gunsmithing

[PewPewChris]

Anyone have recommendations for a decent torque wrench specifically for things like tinkering on firearms? I'd like to keep it under $50, but I realize I may need to spend up to $100...

Wheeler FAT wrench is kind of the benchmark for what you’re trying to do and the budget.

Digital or analog version? Any first hand experience with either?

This is what I prefer. It is a click style so no guessing at a moving number or dial:https://www.amazon.com/Wiha-28501-TorqueVario-S-Torque-Screwdriver/dp/B002QV0FB0/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1PK3P366DBO08&dchild=1&keywords=wiha+torque+screwdriver&qid=1613261456&sprefix=wiha+torqu,aps,212&sr=8-5

I’ve used the analog version with great success. Had it for nearly 5 years. Built countless guns and mounted dozens of scopes and red dots.

Another vote for the Wheeler. I've used them for many years without a problem.

Same expierence for me with the analog model.

I know you already bought one,, but for future reference, buy quality. Borka makes the most repeatably accurate torque wrench. Followed by Fix-it Sticks.
