The Real Avid AVSTFL18 Smart Torq Fixed Limiter delivers precise 18 inch-pound torque control for critical firearm assembly and maintenance tasks. This torque limiter prevents over-tightening damage to scope rings, rail mounts, and other precision components while ensuring consistent, repeatable fastener tension.
What Makes This Different
Unlike adjustable torque wrenches that require constant setting verification, the AVSTFL18 maintains a fixed 18 in-lb specification throughout its service life. The precision-engineered mechanism automatically disengages at the preset torque value, eliminating guesswork and preventing costly component damage. Professional gunsmiths and precision shooters rely on this exact torque specification for mounting optics and accessories on tactical and sporting rifles.
Key Features
- Fixed 18 inch-pound torque specification for consistent fastener tension
- Automatic disengagement prevents over-tightening damage to components
- Compatible with standard 1/4-inch hex drive bits and sockets
- Precision-machined steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Compact design fits in standard tool rolls and range bags
- No calibration required - maintains accuracy throughout service life
- Professional-grade construction suitable for high-volume use
The 18 in-lb torque specification matches manufacturer recommendations for most scope ring assemblies, Picatinny rail mounts, and tactical accessory installations. Competition shooters depend on this precise torque control to maintain zero retention during rapid-fire strings and transportation. The fixed limiter design eliminates the common problem of accidentally changing torque settings mid-project, ensuring every fastener receives identical tension for optimal performance.
