Suggestions on torque screwdrivers

That won't break the bank too hard. What are you home binding mounting guys using?

I try to avoid this if I can. I have a nice snap-on torque wrench I use for automotive things, or at least I did when I used to have time to wrench on cars. I inherited the snap-on though, if I had purchased it on my own I would've gone down-market a bit anyway.

I like the confidence of knowing things are torqued to spec.

I use a torque wrench when I work on cars but on things where torque actually matters like engines, bearings, and diffs. Usually not on suspension.

I don’t bother with skis since it’s wood. Tight is tight.

I ended up buying a CDI Torque Products TorqControl Torque Tool like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/CDI-TorqCo...320063922?epid=2254529002&hash=item487c1f2fb2:g:w-YAAMXQ1ZhTenNC:sc:USPSPriorityMailPaddedFlatRateEnvelope!94596!US!-1

It was slightly cheaper than this one and I think it's my new favorite tool. Now I guess I'll just have to buy more skis and binding to mount???

it's a screw into wood... just make it tight...

Just a note or suggestion but I'd venture a guess that if you're using a standard straight shafted screwdriver your torque values are coming up shy of spec. I like to be precise.
