One thing about the FW worth mentioning here (generally, not to you specifically GunnerySgtJackson) is that the instructions by the manufacturer advise you to ensure it clicks three times, after which the fastener is fully torqued to the specified setting.

Take note, using a Torque screwdriver as opposed to a torque wrench, because you do not have the leverage of a Qwrench it feels you are putting excessive torque on the fastener as compared to using a Qwrench.
Ensure you bring the torque values up in increaments on your rings and follow a circle or figure 8 pattern unless otherwise specified by the mount manufacturer. I usually torque up in values of 5.0 in/lbs.
I work on Heavy Helicopters and all our final torques require hitting required torque three times.
Remember to reset your device back to zero when finished using.
