Wheeler also make a "Fat Wrench" that goes well with these bits . It is a screwdriver style torque wrench for bits graduated in inch/lbs. If your going to work on guns , always use the correct size bit for the screw slot .
The proper sized bits are very important as to not damage various fasteners for sure. I have a couple of gun smithing bit sets that I have had for several years. But, I have only used very few of them. I would say, 6-8 different bits out of 50-75 of them. But....to make sure you get/have what you need, it is pretty much necessary to purchase a kit like that. It's very good to have if your ever gonna work on your guns at all.
An ill fitting screw driver can make a mess of a screw head.
I have this set plus a couple others that are made for guns. My dad bought me a small set back when I was 15 or so , like 43 years ago, because I wanted to work on my own guns. My first job was installing a Clark SS trigger in a Ruger MK1 pistol. Still have it. He always stressed to use the correct tool for the job. Whenever i get a gun to work on I buy the necessary tools or make them so next time I'll have what I need.
It's easy to spot the guys who use automotive tools to work on guns. Just look at all the buggerd up screws on their guns. I own multiple sets of drivers and bits made for guns (Brownell's and Chapman), and 2 torque screwdrivers (one a FAT wrench as the other did not go high enough), I only wish more manufacturers would give torque specs instead of saying "not too tight, tight, and real tight".
I have many tools from the farm but I use my Wheelers Fat wrench on my guns and man I wouldn't go back. Really nice for tightening things to specific torque settings. Guns are always put back together with same torque so no inconsistency there
Thanks so much for recommending our tools! We got a lot of hits to our website from the link you posted, so I was able to trace it back. We're a small shop (about 15 of us in Durham, CT) and most of our new customers are referred by current customers, so I really appreciate it!
