Looks nice but expensive.

Very nice and compact. Although I have a couple of the kits and at 5 with torque limiters, it gets pricey FAST. If kept in perspective for a couple specialty items and then an Allen set and adjustable type, not as bad. Great for take along though. I'm hoping they add the 9/64 bits, may have by now as I suggested to him last year.

The 4 individual torque limiters is why it is expensive. They are also the reason I would prefer the Borka Tools. They are adjustable to any torque value within their range.

Knowing about Borka tools would have saved me a lot of trouble... This should be posted somewhere in the sticky "Tools to buy"

Its always nice to have specialized tools, but prices can get steep quick. I'm sure it is nice, but I'll have to stick with my more basic setups.

I wanted compact kit for field use with specific torque values; this is a great kit. Don't want to be adjusting Borka style tools in field, low light, etc. I highly recommend!

Their glock front sight bit is excellent and like no other I've seen. It has a magnet in the tip so you dont drop the screw. Can't tell you how many times I had to find that damn little screw, reclean it and reapply loctite.

I have a glock front sight bit from either Brownells or Wheeler, fits in the 3/16 magna tip screwdrivers, which magnetizes the bit.

You really don't want to be putting too much pressure on that screw, a screwdriver mounted bit is just fine.

Brownell's makes a special tool for the Glock front sight: https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/handgun-tools/sight-tools/enhanced-front-sight-tool-for-glock-pistols-prod117628.aspx

It isn't magnetic, but one of these will slip over the shaft and make it so:

In addition, they are handy little things to have around if you do any driving with a drill/driver. I pick one up about every other time I'm at Home Depot.

If applying actual torque, believe it's only 6-8 inch pounds on that front sight screw.

I only have the glock front sight bit from fixit sticks, it was $8 and neat for what it is. I did not know Brownells makes a 3/32 nut driver bit.

True confession: I had not used the 25 inch pound bit; it was much in excess of 25 inch pounds! No cigar; I returned kit to distributor.
