Real Avid has released its Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter as a compact and convenient way for professional gunsmiths and at-home hobbyists to make sure they've reached the proper toque for their screws, bolts, or other fixtures.

The Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter is a precisely tuned in.-lbs. torque limiter developed specifically for firearm applications. The compact, sleek design stows neatly in the toolbox or on the work bench and is ergonomically designed to ensure a positive grip for securing even high-torque screws.

With the Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter, users can adjust for any torque value between 15 and 65 in-lbs. This range covers nearly all scope mount, scope ring, and action screw torque requirements, and can be adjusted in single in.-lb. increments for extreme precision. This makes the wrench useful not just for mounting scopes and general optic work, but full-on gun builds as well.

The Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter is available separately or as part of the Real Avid Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter and X3 Driver Kit. This kit comes with the adjustable limiter, the X3 Driver—a modular unit that incorporates three driver systems (ratchet, T-handle, and screwdriver)—and an assortment of common driver bits such as hex-to-square 1/4-inch adapter, and a 1/2-inch socket. A compartmentalized hard plastic case keeps all tools organized and secure for the work bench or the shooting bench.
