Sometimes it is about the small things. While some manufacturers released new flashy guns at SHOT Show 2020, Fix-It-Sticks came out with a small but meaningful upgrade to their already fantastic product line.
If you are unfamiliar with Fix-It-Sticks, they are sets of tools which can go with you everywhere, from the workbench to the field. They are made up of numerous bits which interface with their T-Way Handle. The bits range from your standard Torx and Hex bits all the way up to specialized attachments, such as a Front Sight Tool for ARs or their Castle Nut Tool. Additionally, they are offered with a variety of torque limiters. These are amazing in their repeatability and always giving you the correct and consistent torque values, keeping you from over tightening and damaging components.
While their kits are great, this year they added an upgrade that I didn’t realize I needed. They added a ratcheting system to their T-Way Handle. While this seems small and insignificant, it is awesome. As I look back on the times I’ve used Fix-It-Sticks to mount scopes, bases or other accessories, I think about how I have to constantly remove and reposition the tool. This is either because of space limitations where I’m using the T-Way Handle or due to physical limitations, you can only rotate your wrist so far.
While it may seem silly or trivial, this is a huge upgrade. Think of a mechanic who’s been using box end wrenches being handed a ratchet set. It is a big deal…
Also this year, Fix-It-Sticks will be releasing their Scope Jack. A genius little piece that attaches to the rail of a rifle under your scope. With your scope loose in the rings, you raise the Scope Jack up, contacting the bottom of the scope, and immediately levels your optic to the rail. Talk about a time saver…
If you appreciate tools and don’t like to be stuck in the field with nothing but a multi-tool (which is literally the perfect tool for nothing, but handy in a pinch) take a look at Fix-It-Sticks. They can be purchased as sets or ala carte if you choose to build out your own kit. The Ratcheting T-Way Handle will be available Q1 with a MSRP of $40 and a street price of $36. The Scope Jack will be available Q2 with a price between $35-$45.

Prices for these things are insane.
How can it level a round scope? Impossible.
P. – Umm, unless my memory fails me, I remember there is usually an optics adjustment area (windage/elevation) kinda in the middle that is usually flat on the bottom?
