Where can I buy an inch/lb torque wrench, that's reliable and not $100.

Harbor Freight unless you're using it a lot for work or something. I bought one to adjust the bands on my trans there. 

also have the harbor freight one and it serves its purpose for ar builds

I too suggest Harbor Freight. Picked mine up for like 10 bucks after a coupon, and got a decent punch set for assembling AR's with. 

How about long hex sockets?

Same place.

I would not trust a torque wrench from Harbor Freight if you plan on using it for anything critical. They make some decent stuff but most of it is just throw away garbage.

It would be used to torque the scope ring screws and the action screws on my remi 700.

If you are going in a threaded hole I would be very careful and use something that you know is accurate. If you break a bolt in a small threaded hole it can be very difficult to remove even with the proper equipment.

Every man's man needs a good torque wrench. Put it on the Christmahanukwanzukkah list.

Is it weird that I actually sounded that word aloud just now?

Wheeler Engineering FAT wrench.

Not sure i would trust a tourque wrench from harbor frieght but your only option for one under 100 bucks...if you get one try it against another known good tourque wrench have a buddy tourque something say at 50in pounds and set yours to that and see if it tightens it. if not set the known good one to 45in and see if it tourqes it down to 50 in..

I also have a harbor freight one, but wouldnt trust anything serious with it.  I actually dont think i have ever really used it, just got it b/c it was on sale for like $20

Both Wheeler Engineering (Midway's house brand) and Weaver (the scope people)make torque drivers for around $40 - $50 bucks.

Just use an air gun. That's what I do

No, he is talking about a wrench with Tq settings, not using it like a breaker bar...

I would never use a horrible freight torque wrench on anything that required precision.

There is a reason what they sell is 1/10th of Craftsman, which are 1/3 to 1/2 of Snap On or Mac TW's

 

Actually HF torque wrench and precision is a bit of an oxymoron.

This doesn't go past 50 inch lbs. the action alone should be 65 on a remi700 kinda a waste

A reviewer said it goes to 65...

I wasn't serious, hence the wink

Wheeler FAT is not bad, as others have said. I have one. It comes with a few less common bits. Also eBay; there are plenty of brand-name wrenches (CDI, MAC, etc.) for $60-100 bucks available with "buy it now."

 

While it's great for boat tools, I'd pass on anything Harbor Freight that has moving parts.
