The Wheeler Torque Wrench is a great little tool. Some years ago I over torqued and stripped some scope ring threads, so I have tended to treat them gingerly since then. After checking the screws with this tool, I discovered I have been under torquing the screws on all my scopes which would put them at risk for moving under recoil. I would have given this tool 5 stars except for the following critique: (1) the set is difficult to keep together since it does not come with a small carrying case for the tool and the driver bits - in this day when any $10 multi-piece tool from Home Depot has its own case for the various components, I should not have to use a Tupperware container for the tool and bits; (2) the only reference guide provided regarding the proper torque settings for various screw types is on the cardboard backing in the package - once again, one should not have to retain the packaging material as a referencer guide - this should be a small card or booklet inserted in the previously mentioned carrying case on a tool this expensive.

I was cautious to order this wrench because of the previous reviews: crude adjustments, no carrying case etc...
Well I was surprised when it arrived with its own hard plastic case. It held the wrench itself and all the bits securely. It also had a paper insert (instructions) that you could keep in there. The adjustments are not in 10 in-lbs increments, rather 5 in-lb increments. But you can make finer adjustments if you're not a moron. Maybe it seems "Wheeler" listened and addressed most, if not all of the previous complaints. This is a great little wrench that is very useful if you work on firearms or any small precision parts.

Given what other Torque wrenches cost, I sort of purchased this expecting it to be a piece of junk. Boy was I wrong. Very solidly built, and the model I received (in 2011) included a plastic molded case with the wrench and the bits. Also included: A manual describing the care and use, and a calibration card.
