    I have the Borka Tools kit. The owner is a really good guy. Had the kit for years and used it tons.
    A lot of people like the Fixit Sticks. These are newer and you can put together a kit with just what you need. No complaints from the people I know using them.

    Starting over, Fixit sticks for large values, 25-60 in-lbs (5lb increments). Vortex wrench for rings and small parts 10-25 in-lbs (1lb increments).

    Vortex comes calibrated and I've had mine for ~5years now. It was within 5% when I checked it on a test fixture. 5% seems plenty accurate for mounting a scope. The bits mine came with were crap and mostly got thrown out.

    If you want to go six levels up, I have a Seekonk for my LMT MRP. As precise as you are willing to pay for.

    I have a couple of fixed Wihas in various inch pound increments, and a variable driver that goes to 60 inch pounds. I use the 25 inch pound for most scope ring torx screws. Over 5 ft lbs, I'd rather have a ratchet style for the leverage.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    And if you have money to burn look at McMaster for certified wrenches. Or you can take your chances with the white rape van, aka SnapOn.

    Fix-t sticks are also made by a Pro-2A Colorado manufacturer. Good company to support.

    Wish I had know that. Had to buy a 8Nm wrench for my prop and would have paid a bit more to support a CO2A corp.
