  • We have gotten a lot of questions about the little torque driver!

    It is a Wiha TorqueVario - S ESD, made in Germany, and has been in the lab for years. It adjusts between 5 to 10 inch pounds.

    Thanks for all the comments, and please keep the covers on your hard drives if you care about the data inside!
