Description
Mounting a scope is one of those jobs where getting the torque right actually matters. Too loose and your rifle wanders off zero, too tight and you risk crushing a scope tube or stripping a ring screw. The Weaver Gunsmith Torque Wrench takes the guesswork out of that whole process by letting you dial in a specific screw pressure and repeat it every single time. It covers a range of 10 to 80 inch-pounds, which handles just about every ring, base, and mount screw you're likely to run into on the bench.
What Sets the Weaver Torque Wrench Apart
The kit comes with 10 magnetized bits, so you've got the right tip for most fasteners without digging through a junk drawer. The magnetic tip holds bits firmly, which is a small thing until you're working over a cluttered bench and a bit drops into the carpet. The bit assortment covers a mix of flat blades and hex sizes, including a couple of T15 Torx, a T20, plus 3/32 and 5/32 hex Allen tips. It also runs any standard 1/4-inch drive hex bit, so if you already have a bit set, you can pull from it.
Built for Repeatable Results on the Bench
The solid hand grip gives you good control and consistent feel as you approach the set value, and folks who own one alongside pricier tools tend to note it feels every bit as sturdy. Whether you're mounting rings and bases to manufacturer spec or torquing action screws and accessory hardware, the tool delivers even, predictable pressure so your optic investment stays protected.
Packed and Ready to Travel
Everything stores in a rugged carrying case, so the wrench and all 10 bits stay organized and protected between jobs. That makes it easy to toss in the range bag or tuck on a shelf without losing pieces. Whether you're a working gunsmith or a hobbyist who mounts your own glass, this is one of those tools that earns its keep the first time it saves you from a stripped screw or a lost zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the torque range on the Weaver Gunsmith Torque Wrench?
It adjusts from 10 to 80 inch-pounds, which covers the vast majority of scope ring, base, and mount screws. Most optics manufacturers publish their ring and base torque specs within that window, so you can match the number they call for. That range also makes it useful for action screws and other accessory hardware.
How many bits come with the wrench, and can I use my own?
The kit ships with 10 magnetized bits covering a mix of flat blades, hex Allen, and Torx sizes. It also accepts any standard 1/4-inch drive hex bit, so if you have a bit set already you can pull from it for oddball fasteners. The magnetic tip keeps whichever bit you use seated firmly during work.
Will the Weaver torque wrench work with mounts from other brands?
Yes. It works with common scope mounting systems from brands like Vortex, Leupold, Nikon, Ruger, and Warne, not just Weaver hardware. As long as the fastener matches one of the included bits or a standard 1/4-inch hex bit you own, you're good to go.
Do I really need a torque wrench for mounting a scope?
If you care about holding zero and protecting your optic, it's a worthwhile tool. Guessing by feel is how tubes get dented and ring screws get stripped, and over-tightening is one of the most common mounting mistakes. Setting the wrench to spec gives you even, repeatable pressure every time.
