Taking Precision to the Next Level

Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns®, is proud to unveil a tough new lineup of fixed torque limiters, the most precise and technically advanced torque limiters designed for serious DIY gun enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths alike.

Achieving the precise torque value on scope mounts, rings, actions screws, and other assorted gun components is critical to firearm performance and to prevent damage to components. Not enough torque and scopes come loose, barreled actions become sloppy, and components may fall off. Too much torque and bad things happen to optics and guns.

Recognizing the critical need for precision at the gun bench, Real Avid developed a simple, cost-effective means to achieve correct torque with their new Smart-Torq® Fixed Limiters. These fixed torque limiters, built for 1/4-inch drivers, are pre-set to the most common in-lb torque specifications found in gun builds and component upgrades.

To use, simply install the appropriate Smart-Torq® Fixed Limiter to any 1/4-inch driver, fit with the correct driver bit, and tighten the screw. The limiter will “click” when the rated torque value is reached. That’s it. Read more
