It is up to the consumer to decide what they will purchase, or not, based on the findings.


That's right Sponxx.

I just offered to test torque wrenches for people since I have the equipment handy and am interested in the results. The owners get data for their wrench, and the rest of us get to see how the different makes/models compare. Maybe the Weaver and Wheeler are accurate and repeatable. Maybe they aren't. The only way we'll know is to test them. Same goes for a $180 wrench. Let's see how they do.

Nobody in this thread ever said that ISO certification is needed for a wrench for their scope mounting. I just made a genuine offer to test a wrench for some people and others rant about ISO. Wow! Now my feelers are hurt! Can I file a report with Rick?

I have the equipment to test the wrenches. On calibrated equipment, in an ISO certified facility. This just gives us a little confidence in the data we get. Rather than some unknown, uncalibrated measurement device.
