    Confused, that list was simply a comparison of available, similar torque limiting tools and cost. My chosen and consistently applied torque on my mounts is 65in/lbs. The reference to 1/4 turn past hand right is straight out of geissele's literature.

    I am sure if you stick with 1/4 turn past, you will be fine. Torque to angle is superior to torque to poundage, anyways. That said, I press the easy button and do what you do. 65 in-lb. Whether it's G mount, NF, or whatever (as long as that's within its parameters).

    I have no connection to the company other than being a customer but check out Fix It Sticks.

    When I was looking around, a few years ago, I saw a lot of people were recommending the Wheeler FAT wrench.

    Other than the price, I can't comment because I don't own one. I ended up getting the Borka set.

    This is a Borka 10-85 in/lb set that works by break-over, set at 15 in/lbs. I use this set on the bench at home and use the torque limiter out of my range bag in the field for attaching/detaching mounted scopes/aimpoint. All my mounts are Geissele.

    Interesting, I'm in the market for one as well, initially was checking out the Borka and Fix-it sticks.

    Then I saw that Fix-it has this new all-in-one model that covers 15/25/35/45/55/65 in one compact little tool, you can pre-order for $89, but this is cheaper than then typically $160 to $180 pricing for the online collections of Fix-it sticks that have not even all of these six settings, you see the current kits at places like Midway, Triad Tactical, etc., but this looks better and if you're willing to take the chance on pre-ordering, it's more economical and more compact in your range bag.

    Also I just ran across this Seekonk at Brownells, pretty deluxe 1 to 75 in inch pounds completely variable, and supposed to be accurate. But pricey. Anybody tried it?

    ETA, for convenience of others who are researching too, here's a list of all the one's I'm considering/researching, and best prices I can find of in-stock ones.

    Wheeler fat wrench for $45 (10 - 65 in/lbs in 5 lb increments; the cheapest option, the non-digital version is supposed to be the best, gets good ratings from people at Midway/Brownells):
    https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-t...prod56976.aspx

    Fix it Stick torque limiting kit for $162 at Midway (comes with a T-handle and 4 predefined settings 15/25/45/65)
    https://www.midwayusa.com/product/102139720?pid=848266

    The Fix It Sticks company is also coming out with a new all-in-one that’s more cost-effective and more compact in your range bag. $89 for pre-order, it has 6 settings in a single limiter head (15/25/35/45/55/65):
    https://store.fixitsticks.com/produc...que-driver-kit

    Borka variable field torque limiter for $155 (this is a nice field kit used by many for range bags, goes from 1 to 85 inch pounds variable, I’ve heard generally positive but a few critiques about the accuracy/calibration):
    https://triadtactical.com/borka-adju...ue-driver-kit/

    Seekonk 1 to 75 inch pounds variable for $194 at Brownells
