I need a recommendation on a torque driver for scopes and mounts. The price range is wide, I'm assuming price=quality but I don't know on these, and I'd prefer to buy something not made in China

Never complain; never explain.
My Feedback
Any 1/4 inch torque wrench. Spend as much or as little as you want.
I like sex, drugs and automatic weapons. That's why i'm a dues paying member of the Libertarian party. Struggling to keep the government away from messing with the above.
My Wife has her own vice.
CDI is a USA made brand. I use one for my wheel lugs on my cars. They are sort of pricey.

After owning Wheeler wrench, Borka, Fix-it sticks adjustable, Fix-it sticks fixed value singles, Snap-on gauge type and Wiha variables torque wrenches, the one set I use the most is the Fix-it Sticks fixed torque singles.
The only tool mentioned above that I disliked enough to return was the Borka kit. Too finicky, had to held a certain way for repeatable torque value, has to be assembled each time. Every other tool is easier to use. The Wiha, wheeler and fix-it variable see much less use and the Snap-on is at work. The Snap-on and borka require two hands to use properly, where all the others only need one. I like the Fix-it fixed torque singles kit so much I am considering getting another set of them. have one for home bench work and one for the range bag.
Note that for some chassis you will need extended bits to fit into the deep action holes. I have an extended 3/16” allen apex bit.

The Fix-it sticks single value individual torque drivers kit is what I keep in the range bag and also use on the bench at home for scope rings, scope ring pic rail screws, and torquing barreled actions into stocks/chassis

Sportsman's WHSE used to sell an inch pound torque wrench for about $70. YMMV

I have the wheeler one. But it feels meh and I never know where it?s precisely at. I think Vortex has a nice one out there, but I saw it after I bought the wheeler.
The only thing I have absolute trust for accurate torque is my Snap On 1/4” dial gauge torque wrench.
Click or break type wrenches get ya close but if you want dead balls on* it is a beam or dial.

Wiha. Love mine.
Math is tough. Let's go shopping!
I've had the Wheeler torque-screwdriver set for almost 20 years and used it in my shop daily for 10 years. Personally I think it's great for gun stuff...especially scope mounting.
