Those extensions for Glock kit were actually channel liner install tool bit, and that blue one you held but didn’t talk about makes adjusting Elev./Wind. On all lasers, red dots & some adj iron sights super easy due to fitting perfectly!

We were at the range last weekend and my cousins scope came loose. We remounted it with a wheeler optic level kit (bought thanks to this channel) and then we found out his action was loose too. Needless to say I bought their field armor kit and it is comfy in my range bag now, along with some loctite

Got ‘em! Love them!

I bought those fix it stick bubble levels years ago. They are great when putting optics on.

[@unionse7en]

The "all in one" is different than the dedicated sockets in that the user has to control stopping (like any normal tq wrench) , the sockets will just de-clutch/free spin at the limit. Just something to keep in mind. SO the sockets can be used in general purpose application in a powered driver. Useful when setting a lot of fasteners in a row.. production scenarios etc.

[@Lethal_Venom]

Great kits, I should pick up the long range one

[@willtrax71]

The Cadillac Torque driver Kit absolutely. I’m looking at the Real Avid one due to price but really like the Fix it Sticks. I do like the made in Taiwan aspect also with the Fix it Sticks along with the Capri Torque driver. The Real Avid and Neiko are more in my Wheelhouse Budget though. Thank you my friend, SF

[@mikewithers299]

Great video on these tools Gary. I saw them online and saw the price, I decided to pass. Now after watching 2 of your videos I'm in. I've been around tools my entire life as a construction worker and mechanic. Nothing hits home better than stripped fasteners. I like that they come in a case with holders to keep them organized. I will make sure I purchase them from your site only.

Damn! I wish that I had seen this video before I bought the product! If I had, I would’ve ordered it from you! What an awesome video.

These bits can not be hardened steel like he says, I bought these thinking I was getting quality bits. I was using a torx t10 that slipped inside of a screw head, I was torquing to 25 inch lbs. thought I had stripped the head when on closer inspection I realized the spines on the bit were completely deformed. Really frustration considering what I spent on these.

Great video! I might pull the trigger on the works. Is the code still available?

[@H2OSensei]

@fixitsticks I own a lot of your tools. I love them, except for one issue. When using the t-handle ratchets, the lever moves and locks the ratchet. You have to reset it in order to keep working. I've tried holding it with the lever toward the front and toward the rear.. If this was addressed, the tools would be 5 starts all the way.

[@twissted1277]

I added a baby channelock ajustable pliers to the set. Also added some loc tite.

[@TheBvirgilio86]

Been using my set for a couple years and finally added a mini needle nose pliers yesterday because those chromed bits are slippery and hard to get out.

[@paramounttactical]

Glad you thought so. Thanks for watching! -Gary

[@christopherstephens2699]

As someone who spends in the neighborhood of $35 for a screwdriver or 70 for a wrench for my job you are correct about not cheaping out on tools. The extra cost goes into higher quality materials and better quality control for precision fit, which makes far more difference than most people ever realize. They're also far more durable and generally have really good warranties.

[@paramounttactical]

You’re absolutely right. The difference in time savings, and frustration savings… using these compared to other gun specific bit sets isn’t even comparable. Just the face that you have everything you’ll likely need in a small compact set, their price is worth the sheer convenience they offer. Just like Snap On or other expensive tool brands, these probably don’t need to be purchased by most gun owners. If you shoot twice a year, it’s not what you need but if you’re LE/MIL, or a serious shooter with lots of gun and accessories, these are a must have in my book. Thanks for watching and providing context. Hopefully you subscribed and we see you in the comments often. Thanks, Gary

[@christopherstephens2699]

​@@paramounttacticalSo I ordered these and I you are absolutely right on them. They are phenomenal quality. One point though. Trijicon RMRs are supposed to be torqued to 10-12 in-lbs (which is really annoying for them to be so non standard). For one of the most common red dots on the market this is worth an actual mention and worth having listed on your site. The difference between that 12 and 15 in-lbs may sound small, but with threads that fine it doesn't take much to start causing damage. That being said you clearly have far more experience than I ever will on firearms work, so if your experience says otherwise I would greatly appreciate any insights. Thanks for your work.

[@paramounttactical]

@@christopherstephens2699 did I mention RMRs in the video? We don’t currently have Trijicon RMRs on our site and given how fast models and specs change, I typically don’t comment on items we don’t carry, or I haven’t done a video and put in the research on to ensure information is up to date. A given today is misinformation tomorrow… that said, I believe you’re right. If I mentioned them in passing, it was just that so people should take it as such. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for watching! -Gary

[@christopherstephens2699]

@@paramounttactical You didn't mention them. I meant that I wish I had realized they called for the lower torque specs when I placed the order. I would have liked for the lower limiter and tossed that into the order as well. You are right about changing specs and double checking though. I still love your channel and your shop though.

[@MrRandyRoc]

Can you do the Armorer's Field Kit?!

[@not-AI]

One question I had is how do the torque limiters compare vs the adjustable torque wrenches. I went with the adjustable wrenches (standard and mini) because there were more torque options and just needed 2. So I Just picked up the all in one kit with the additional blue mini torque driver for $210 shipped with coupon, I'm excited.

[@paramounttactical]

The all in ones are much more versatile and having both, those are the ones I use the most. Thanks for your purchase and for watching! -Gary

[@georget7865]

Gary, nice video. I am about ready to purchase. I have rounded those screws use to secure a hand guard on a Keymod. Is the fit of these bits tighter (better fit) than what I have used previously e.g. hex wrench? Or is the problem related to the screws being low quality or both? Thanks

[@paramounttactical]

Yes, I’m my original review I discuss that in delete. All the bits are precision ground and fit fasteners much better and prevent that very thing from happening. That being said, most people WAY over tighten fasteners on guns and hand guards. I see that all the time. Those fasteners shouldn’t likely be over 25in lbs depending on the fastener type. Add Vibra Tite, stay at 25in lbs or less, and they’ll stay put and still remove easily. Get a set. You won’t regret it and you’ll end up using them a lot more than you think. They’re a good investment. Thanks, Gary

It’s funny the dumb shit people bitch about on here. Thanks.

[@johnwest4492]

What if you just someone who enjoys tinkering on you guns, weather it's AR's or Pistols ? Which kit would you recommend?

[@paramounttactical]

The Works.

[@TheResidentialzombe]

Ya, all these options are a little confusing. Say I have a sig snakebite AR, some shotguns, scoped 22, etc. etc., but my main focus is the snakebite, and several glocks, with Trijicon optics… am I good to go with “the works”, or do I really need to get the works, and the Glock kits?

[@paramounttactical]

The Works is going to cover you for 99% of your needs. The Glock tool kit has a couple of Glock specific tools like the mag plate removal tool and some punches. I have both. The Glock kit is small and fits in even a single gun case or even in your pocket so it is nice to have. If you do all your own maintenance and rifle/gun setup they’re good investments. Use code liberty1776 and get a discount on either or both. Thanks for watching! -Gary

[@MrSoonermadman]

Do all the kits have the Velcro on the case to add the magnetic patch to the kit?

[@paramounttactical]

I know for sure The Works kit does. I’ll have to check the rest tomorrow. Thanks for watching. -Gary

[@zb2808]

I prefer the individual torque limiters versus the torque drivers. With the drivers, there is the potential to over torque, and they have to be in a position to view the indicator marks. Sometimes, a fastener is in an awkward place, and with the limiters, I don't have to see it to set the proper torque value. Yes, it's the most expensive option.

[@paramounttactical]

Your logic isn’t without merit but you can turn the driver in the T handle to a position that you can see the indicator lines. But both are good options and there are times I prefer the limiters. The real answer is just buy both. 😆

[@TheBvirgilio86]

I'd like to have a more complete set of limiters but it seems like every accessory spec is a little different. I ended up adding the smaller blue driver for the lighter torque and that combo works out great.

[@jimoneal3]

I have problems using this mounting my holosun 508T because its too bulky to fit behind the shroud where the screws are. What do you recommend ??

[@weezem]

Not to buy a holosun

[@peterk814]

Does the long range replace the works? If I buy the long range it has everything the works includes

[@paramounttactical]

Yes, the Long Range has everything The Works does and a lot more! Here’s a link. We’d appreciate the business if you buy from us! www.paramounttactical.com/brand/fix-it-sticks/ Thanks, Gary

[@PhuVet]

The problem I have with your big kit with all of the torque drivers is that it didn't come with any flat bits. I hate the multitorque thing, it is so inconsistent. I take mine with me to classes and on deployments. It lives in my drag bag.

[@paramounttactical]

LOL... Well it's not "our" kit. I think your comments are better served in an email to Fix It Sticks. All that said, as a former SF sniper and someone who builds/assembles 4-8 rifles a month, on what exactly are you using flat heads? I can't think of a single time in the last 6 months I'm using a flat head on firearm/optics/mounts fasteners... It's not meant to be an around tool kit for everything. That's what a Leatherman is for. It's intentionally including firearm specific bits so you have what you do need and not carrying what you don't need. There are larger kits like the armorer's kit that I would have loved to have had as an 18B but even that wouldn't have gone to the field or on missions with me. Thanks for watching and thanks for your service! DOL -Gary

Do you have a kit that makes sense for AR, Glock, Rifle scope, shotgun, the Works Kit doesn't seem to cover that - I would rather go to your site than Amazon (if I missed something here my bad)

[@paramounttactical]

First, thank you. We appreciate the support. For the last two years having The Works Kit, I have worked on all those guns and have rarely ever needed to reach for additional or specialty tools. So I do think The Works will cover you for 95% of anything needing to be done with those platforms. I work on clients guns, students guns, our training gun inventory… and it has covered me. That said you could also look at the 3Gun Kit and the big boy, Field Armorers Kit. I’m getting ready to do a video on that. Another option would be to buy a couple of the smaller, more specialized kit, ie, the Glock Kit, and the AR, but again, I think balancing cost, size, and capabilities, the Works is the way to go and possibly the 3 Gun Kit.

The interiors of all the cases should be bright orange to increase visibility of the contents.

[@tiputipu777]

Too bad leveling off the turret cap is stacking tolerances. But if you get a loose scope in the field, at least you can get it kinda close, maybe. If I dont have a chance to level off of the bottom, ill use a level to get the gun level and turn the scope to close to max, and line up the bottom of the reticle to the bolt or middle of the reciever.

[@paramounttactical]

Leveling from the turret is not stacking tolerances, or at least not enough to matter on most decent optics. I cover that in depth in my “Scope Mounting Myths” video. Link below. It’s funny bc people that emphasize the stacking tolerances of leveling off the top of the turret usually a stack more tolerances using their alternative methods. How you mount really doesn’t matter as there is potential error in all methods and in all optics. You have to verify by shooting a tall target test. That’s the only way you truly know if your optic is plumb to the rifle and that your reticle is plumb and tracking correctly inside the optic. Thanks for watching! -Gary kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3WlnoZrhZVroJI

[@tiputipu777]

@@paramounttactical everything is indexed to the bottom of the turret housing (as I assume you must know) so it is. Ive seen in scopes (nf has been the worst) where rotating the turret a quarter of a turn at a time will change the level indicated by the level sitting on top if the turret. I only use spuhr mounts and level using their system, and in the process check it against a plumb line.
