The Lyman 7031300 Torque Wrench delivers precise torque control for critical firearm assembly and maintenance tasks. This professional-grade tool prevents over-tightening that can damage expensive components while ensuring proper fastener tension for reliable performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic hex wrenches or adjustable tools, this torque wrench provides measurable force application from 10 to 65 inch-pounds with audible and tactile feedback when target torque is reached. The calibrated mechanism eliminates guesswork when installing scope rings, rail systems, and action screws. Most gunsmithing mistakes stem from improper torque application, making this tool essential for maintaining firearm accuracy and preventing component damage.
Key Features
- 10-65 inch-pound torque range covers most firearm fastener requirements
- Dual-material rubber grip handle provides secure control during operation
- Black oxide steel construction resists corrosion and wear
- Audible click and tactile release signals when target torque is achieved
- Reversible ratcheting head works for both tightening and loosening
- Compatible with standard 1/4-inch hex bits and sockets
- Orange accent coloring for easy identification in toolbox
This torque wrench handles scope mounting, Picatinny rail installation, trigger guard fasteners, and stock bedding screws with consistent repeatability. Competition shooters rely on proper torque specifications to maintain zero between matches, while hunters need confidence that their optics won't shift under recoil. The tool's range covers everything from delicate trigger components at 15 inch-pounds to robust rail systems requiring 50+ inch-pounds.
