[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 15562, member: 25"] August, I have the seven types of mounts, did not use the two that you mention so cannot comment on them, sorry. The Sekonk is a relatively small "T" shaped snap-wrench, they are calibrated to given torque specs. Probably the best model actually is set at 65 for tightening and 80 for loosening, that way you can take your rings off (this is for the large 1/2 inch nut that tightens on the side of the MK4 or Badger style rings). As you know, 65 is also the suggested torque for stock bolts so the tool is good for checking and tightening them. I use a Mac torque screwdriver for the capscrews in the rings, set it at 15 inch pounds as per Badger recommendation. No doubt your Snap-on does as good a job, not sure if it would be as small and portable. My Sekonk fits into an RCBS die box. [/QUOTE]
