You will be surprised how often you can use it. Everytime to you take down a rifle, mount a scope, do some shade tree gun smithing. I use mine weekly

I have been guilty of over tightening and no lock tight all my life. This only caused trouble when needing to remove a scope years later. Only screw I ever had come loose was the wind age adjustment screw on a Loupy base. I no longer used bases with adjustment.
For Christmas I asked for and got a scope mounting kit.
I now lap all my rings and torque to spec with lock tight.

My friend, who left Cali 3 years ago and swore he'd never come back- came back for a friend's Memorial service. He's a gunsmith and retire Navy gunners mate, small arms expert.
He said get everything surgically clean, and he didn't use anything in the threads, just his torque screwdriver to 25 and 30 inch pounds- he said his experience is it works the best.
Here's the finished product-
Here's a 450 round next to a .223. I've rolled 150 pound pigs before they hit the dirt! I guess it should, it's meant for grizzly bears!
