Product FAQs:
Why do I need a Torque Wrench?
Adjusting screws on gun actions, scope bases and scope rings can not only prevent damage to your gun but can greatly increase accuracy.
What torque should I adjust my fasteners to?
Always refer to manufacturer's specs but the following is recommended:
| Base Screws |
30 inch-lbs |
| Ring Screws (aluminum) |
10-15 inch-lbs |
| Ring Screws (Steel) |
15-20 inch-lbs |
| Windage Screws |
30-40 inch-lbs |

65 inch-lbs |
| Guard Screws (no bedding pillars) |

*note: middle guard screw should not be torqued
Will the bits from my Wheeler Engineering Screwdriver Set fit in the FAT Wrench?
Yes. The bits included in the Wheeler 89pc set and 72pc set are designed to work perfectly with the FAT Wrench.
Storage Tip for FAT Wrench:
Never leave the Fat Wrench adjusted to high torque settings for extended periods of time. After each use adjust the torque to the lowest setting prior to storage. This will releive the tension from the internal mechanisms and ensure maximum accuracy over time.
