Real Avid Smart-Torq® & X3™ Driver System

Real Avid Smart-Torq® & X3™ Driver System

Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns®, delivers precision with the Smart-Torq & X3 Driver System.

Precise torque application is critically important for the successful installation and the reliable performance of a wide range of firearm components and accessories. To ensure exact torque when installing optics, frame screws, action screws, and a multitude of aftermarket upgrades, Real Avid developed the Smart-Torq system in both adjustable and fixed limiter configurations.

Furthermore, these Smart-Torq systems are powered by Real Avid’s equally new X3 Driver — a multi-function ratcheting driver designed for do-it-yourself gun enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths alike. Gun builds, modifications, and routine maintenance often require several driver options, depending on the project. The new X3 Driver takes all these varied applications into consideration.

Based on a conventional ratchet driver, the X3 Driver takes a turn from the ordinary with its 72-position ratchet mechanism designed to deliver maximum leverage and exact bit positioning. The X3 Driver features a knurled bit rotation wheel at the back of the driver, allowing easy, one-finger alignment of the bit for working in tight areas. The X3 Driver also includes a modular T-handle that can be installed perpendicular in the driver handle when quick adjustments and “by feel” torque are required. Included in the X3 Driver is a straight-shank bit driver that accepts quarter-inch bits and is ideally suited for traditional screwdriver tasks. The heft of the ratchet and driver handles combine with high-traction knurling to give the user confidence, control and a sure grip for both light and high-torque applications.

Real Avid is now shipping in five purpose-built kits:

The Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter and X3 Driver Kit includes the X3 Driver, 12-piece bit set, hex-to-square adapter and 1/2-inch socket and adds another product, the Smart-Torq Adjustable Limiter. This is a precision torque wrench adjustable from 15 to 65 in-lb in 1 in-lb increments — an essential tool for installing scope rings, mounts and actions screws. MSRP: $119.99.

The Smart-Torq Fixed Limiter and X3 Driver Kit comes with the X3 Driver System, 12 driver bits (hex, Torx, flat and Phillips), 1/4-inch hex-to-square adapter and a 1/2-inch socket. Also included are six of Real Avid’s Smart-Torq Fixed Limiters. Pre-set to 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and 65 in/lbs, the 1/4-inch drive Smart-Torq Fixed Limiters work with the assorted bits to ensure precise torque on critical screw applications like action screws and optic mounting hardware. MSRP: $164.99.

Three X3 Driver Gunsmithing Bit Sets are also offered in multiple bit configurations to meet the tooling requirements of a wide range of gun work. Available kits include a 13-piece bit set, 57-piece bit set and a 52-piece set that features both standard-size driver bits and a range of sockets. MSRP: $39.99 – $59.99.

All kit contents come in a durable and conveniently organized zipper case and/or as a hard case with a clear see-through lid.
