Wheeler Engineering Australia | Expert Gunsmithing Tools

Wheeler Engineering was born to produce innovative and quality gunsmithing products. After having great success with products such as The F.A.T Wrench and Professional Gunsmithing Screwdriver sets, we saw a gap in quality and affordable tools for the AR enthusiast. We took the passion we have for engineering innovative and high quality tools and AR15 rifles, and the Wheeler Delta Series was born. The Wheeler Engineering Delta Series now offers over 25 extremely useful and affordable tools for the AR enthusiast.

Why is the Wheeler FAT Wrench considered a "must-have" for every Australian shooter?

The Wheeler FAT Wrench (Firearm Accurizing Torque) is essential because over-tightening scope rings can crush tube internals, while under-tightening leads to zero-shift. Xhunter AU’s experts recommend using the FAT Wrench to apply precise inch-pound torque to every screw, ensuring your optics are secure and your rifle remains accurate.

What is the benefit of buying the complete Wheeler Professional Scope Mounting Kit?

This kit is the ultimate all-in-one solution for DIY gunsmithing. It includes the FAT Wrench, alignment tools, and lapping bars. Xhunter AU specialists point out that using the lapping bars included in the kit ensures 100% surface contact between the ring and the scope, preventing "ring marks" and improving long-range consistency.

How does the Wheeler Level-Level-Level system improve long-range accuracy?

If your reticle is even slightly canted (tilted), your long-range shots will drift horizontally. The Wheeler Level-Level-Level is the simplest and most effective tool for ensuring your scope is perfectly leveled to the receiver. Xhunter AU always suggests this tool for hunters who plan on shooting beyond 200 meters.

Can I use the Wheeler FAT Wrench for more than just scope rings?

Absolutely. Xhunter AU’s experts recommend using the FAT Wrench for action screws, trigger guard screws, and even mounting red dots on pistols. It comes with a variety of bits that fit most common firearm fasteners, making it a versatile bench tool for any Aussie enthusiast.

What is "Scope Lapping" and do I really need to do it?

Lapping involves using the Wheeler Lapping Bar and compound to smooth out the interior of the scope rings. While modern rings are high-quality, many budget or mid-range rings have slight imperfections. Xhunter AU specialists recommend lapping to ensure your expensive optics aren't stressed or scratched by uneven pressure.

How does the Wheeler Professional Reticle Leveling System (PRLS) differ from the Level-Level-Level?

The PRLS is a more advanced, precision-machined tool that uses a barrel clamp and a reference level. While the Level-Level-Level is great for quick setups, Xhunter AU recommends the Professional System for precision target rifles where even a fraction of a degree in cant can cause a miss at 1000 yards.

Are Wheeler bits compatible with standard household screwdrivers?

Wheeler bits feature a standard 1/4" hex drive. However, Xhunter AU strongly advises using them with the Wheeler handles (like the one included in the 89-Piece Screwdriver Set). Standard hardware store bits are often too thick or tapered, which can "cam out" and strip the delicate, shallow screws found on most firearms.

What makes the Wheeler Crow’s Foot Wrench Set useful for AR-platform owners?
