Real Avid Smrt-Torq Fxd Lmtr 45In/Lb
The Real Avid Smart-Torq Fixed Limiter at 45 in-lbs is a professional-grade torque limiting tool built for shooters and gunsmiths who need repeatability without guesswork. Whether you're mounting a scope, tightening action screws, or assembling precision firearms, this fixed-torque driver eliminates the calibration fuss of adjustable tools—you get the same setting every single time. The 45 in-lb setting is ideal for many common gunsmithing applications where consistent fastener tension matters, from ring caps to trigger guard screws.
The Real Avid approach here is straightforward: a click-style overload clutch gives you tactile feedback the moment you hit the target torque, then stops rotating to prevent over-tightening. That prevents stripping threads, crushing delicate aluminum, or warping scope bases. The tool integrates with standard 1/4" hex drivers and bits, so it slots into any existing toolkit without proprietary adapters. The fixed-torque design—no dial, no mental math—removes a common source of error in assembly work.
Built for durability and repeated use, this limiter maintains ±5% accuracy, tight enough for critical fasteners. If you're running multiple rifles through your workshop, building custom setups, or simply tired of guessing whether that scope ring is tight enough, a fixed-torque limiter takes the second-guessing out of the equation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 45 in-lb setting best used for?
The 45 in-lb setting is suitable for many common gunsmithing tasks, including scope ring caps, mount bases, and action screws on many rifle platforms. Refer to your firearm manufacturer's torque specifications to confirm it matches your assembly.
Does this work with my standard hex bits and drivers?
Yes. The Real Avid Smart-Torq integrates with standard 1/4" hex drivers and bits, so you can use it with tools you likely already own.
How does the click-style clutch work?
When you reach the preset 45 in-lb torque limit, the clutch clicks and stops rotating, giving you tactile and auditory feedback. This prevents you from accidentally over-torquing and damaging fasteners or components.
Can I adjust the torque setting if I need a different value?
No—this is a fixed-torque tool set to 45 in-lbs. Real Avid offers limiters in multiple fixed settings (including 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35, 50, 65, 80, and 100 in-lbs) if you need different torque values for different tasks.
