Just curious if anyone uses one of these for their muzzy? I was thinking it would be a good tool for the muzzleloader, especially since you can torque down the front forearm screws down correctly each time.

I use and like the fat tool. It works for rings, and mounts too, as well as tightening the forearm.

I have one and use it alot. It makes a big difference when you tighten your screws to the same torque all the time. Especially important on stock screws and scope screws. The Fat Wrench is about the least expensive torque wrench you can buy that will do the job effectively. They are not made to the highest standards, but they do get the job done. Tom.

I just use a regular inch/lb torque wrench with a socket on it that fits my bits. But yeah, torquing everything down is a great way of doing it right.

These Harbor Freight torque wrenches are cheap and hold up well. All metal, lifetime warranty, made in USA..at least the ones I bought 5 years ago are. And it is only $15.99.

The FAT Wrench is only $39.99 on ebay...BIN.
