Gun DIY Made Easy: Real Avid Smart-Torq & X3 Driver

When it comes to Gun DIY projects and firearm maintenance, precision is everything. From scope installation to action screws and aftermarket upgrades, applying the right torque keeps your rifle or pistol performing reliably. That’s where Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns, steps in with the Smart-Torq system and the all-new X3 Driver.

Why Torque Matters in Gun DIY

Over-tightening or under-tightening screws can ruin optics, shift zero, or damage firearm components. The Smart-Torq system takes the guesswork out, giving do-it-yourself gunsmiths and hobby shooters exact torque settings for every project.

The X3 Driver: Built for Gun Builders

The X3 Driver is more than a ratcheting screwdriver—it’s designed specifically for Gun DIY.

72-position ratchet delivers maximum leverage and precise bit alignment
Knurled rotation wheel allows one-finger control in tight spots
Modular T-handle offers quick adjustments and “by feel” torque
Straight-shank driver accepts 1/4-inch bits for traditional tasks

With its rugged build and high-traction knurling, the X3 Driver gives confidence on everything from light adjustments to heavy-duty torque jobs.
