What is your favorite torque screwdriver for scope rings, mounts and so on?

So far I've found Sturtevant Richmont 36/4 (2 to 36 in-lb), Precision Instruments MD1F35H (5 to 35 in-lb) and CDI 401SM (5 thru 40 in-lb). All appears to be quality made; however, is there some more that I should take a look at?

I've used the Sturtevant Richmont and it's an excellent tool. You should also look at Mountz.

There's also Waters Torque Watches but I think they top out around 40 oz in.

Borka. I have one of their earlier models with preset torque values seen HERE and I've been really pleased with it. However, a torque screwdriver would probably be easier to use.

I have had one of these for about 3 years and use it monthly.

I know its not a screwdriver per se however I didn't want something to break the bank and I wanted the reliability and consistency of a old school beam wrench. I usually use it around 18-25 inch pounds for action to stock tightening to see what yields the best groups. I have not used it for anything else or at any other torque settings but I am VERY happy with it.
