Thanks for the head's up, Bisley! I finally picked one up at a price I can live with.

The gun vice option drives the price to $114.78. The $34.99 is for the Fat Wrench only.

I've had one for several years. I'm sure it's not super precise, but it does help prevent me from getting heavy handed with my screwdrivers. I use it for all my scope mounting work.

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I ordered one as well. Looks like a nice tool. Given the extremely reasonable price and how big a pain in the ass accurately calibrating torque wrenches is, I was surprised to find a calibration card enclosed with already tight tolerances considerably beaten!

You can get better wrenches for not a lot more money. Nothing wrong with the Fat Wrench as long as you know what you're getting. I almost pulled the trigger on it before settling for something better for not much more $.

I used to work at a nuclear power house. They were very particular about torque wrenches. I have wondered about the Wheeler Fat Wrench. Could you point me to better wrench for not much more money? Thank you.
