Gunsmithing – Fixed Torque Limiter – Smart-Torq 7–100 in-lb
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.
The Real Avid Smart-Torq Fixed Limiter is a compact pre-set torque limiter built for repeatable firearm, optic, mount, and accessory installation work. Each limiter is set to one specific inch-pound value, gives a click-style clutch response when torque is reached, and works with 1/4 inch hex drivers and bits.

What it does
This limiter helps apply a specific torque value without guessing. That matters for optics, scope rings, bases, action screws, mounts, and accessories where over-tightening can strip screws, crush parts, shift zero, or generally turn a simple install into an expensive lesson from the school of dumb decisions.
Setup Guide / Compatibility Table
| Use | Why It Matters | Verify First |
|---|---|---|
| Red dots / optic plates | Helps avoid stripped screws and uneven optic mounting pressure. | Use the optic or plate maker’s torque spec. |
| Scope rings / mounts | Helps keep clamping pressure repeatable and controlled. | Confirm ring, base, and mount torque values. |
| Action screws / accessories | Helps prevent over-tightening and damaged fasteners. | Match the limiter value to the manufacturer’s exact spec. |
Note: Always follow the firearm, optic, mount, or accessory manufacturer’s torque specs. Fixed limiters help only when the correct torque value, correct bit, and correct driver setup are used.

Verify before you buy
- Choose the exact in-lb torque value required by your optic, mount, firearm, or accessory manufacturer.
- This is a fixed limiter, not an adjustable torque driver.
- A driver and bits may be required if you do not already have compatible 1/4 inch hex tools.
- Do not guess torque values. Guessing is how screws die and customers learn new swear words.
