SD,
The instrumentation lab at work has been in total disarray the past week. They partitioned off a section for a new met-lab.
Thanks for being such a good sport with this, and the torque wrench test fixture taking a crap. I'm sorry I had your wrenches for so long and wasn't able to test them.
I'll post an update once we have suitable test equipment. Have fun with your new rifle!
Jason

No updates, did the equipment get fixed, did we get more testing done?

They chucked the old Snap On fixture, and got a new one. CDI, I believe. Haven't gotten any test requests since.

CT never sent you the Wiha?
I hope mine is correct

I'm glad to see this thread rise to the top again.
Hey, 4th point do you have the time and equipment to take this up again? I've got a Felo 1.5 Nm-3 Nm that I'd send your way.

I'll check the lab tomorrow to confirm that the fixture is available. If so, I'll make it happen, and ship it back on my dime. I'll try to update tomorrow evening.

Well you enablers should be proud of yourselves I am going to toss the Wheeler I have and purchase the park tw-1 from amazon. Thanks to all for the heads up on these alternative and apparently better tools.

For anyone interested, I have a NIB Park TW-1 that I will be selling.
I realize it proved to be the most accurate, but I prefer the Wiha wrench.
24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.

Two more quick tests of wrenches, sent by Campfire members. Circles sent a Felo 1.5 - 3.0 N*m, and 7fa sent a Mountz 10 - 50 in*lb.
Big thanks to both of these dudes for being good sports by sending the wrenches, and being patient with my slow progress.

Felo 1.5 - 3.0 N*mAlthough the settings are metric, I used SAE units to report the results.

Mountz chart had an error, so post was edited to correct the problem.
Note that each setting was tested 5 times, and averaged.
