Real Avid Introduces the X3 Driver™ System

Real Avid, the leader in DIY for Guns^®, continues to simplify and to enhance real-world performance of the essential tools needed by do-it-yourself gun enthusiasts and professional gunsmiths alike. The latest problem-solver by Real Avid is the all-new X3 multi-function driver system.

Gun builds, modifications, and routine maintenance often require several driver options, depending on the project. The new X3 Driver takes all these varied applications into consideration.

Based on a conventional ratchet driver, the X3 Driver takes a turn from the ordinary with its 72-position ratchet mechanism designed to deliver maximum leverage and exact bit positioning. The X3 Driver features a knurled bit rotation wheel at the back of the driver, allowing easy, one-finger alignment of the bit for working in tight areas. The X3 also includes a modular T-handle that can be installed perpendicular in the driver handle when quick adjustments and “by feel” torque are required. Included in the X3 Driver system is a straight-shank bit driver that accepts quarter-inch bits and is ideally suited for traditional screwdriver tasks. The heft of the ratchet and driver handles combine with high-traction knurling to give the user confidence, control, and a sure grip for both light and high-torque applications.

The X3 Driver system debuts in five distinct tooling kits developed for serious DIYers and professional gunsmiths.

Real Avid is offering the X3 Driver system in the Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter and X3 Driver Kit. This kit includes the X3 Driver, 12-piece bit set, hex-to-square adapter, and 1/2-inch socket and adds another new-for-2025 Real Avid product, the Smart-Torq® Adjustable Limiter. This is a precision torque wrench adjustable from 15 to 65 in/lbs in 1 in/lb increments — an essential tool for installing scope rings, mounts, and actions screws. MSRP: $99.99.

The Smart-Torq® Fixed Limiter and X3 Driver Kit (#AVSTFLX3KIT) comes with the X3 Driver system, 12 driver bits (hex, Torx, slot, and Phillips), 1/4-inch hex-to-square adapter, and a 1/2-inch socket. Also included are six of Real Avid’s all-new Smart-Torq® Fixed Limiters. Pre-set to 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, and 65 in/lbs, the 1/4-inch drive Smart-Torq® Fixed Limiters work with the assorted bits to ensure precise torque on critical screw applications like action screws and optic mounting hardware. MSRP: $149.99.

Three X3 Driver Gunsmithing Bit Sets are also offered in multiple bit configurations to meet the tooling requirements of a wide range of gun work. Available kits include a 13-piece bit set, 57-piece bit set, and a 52-piece set that features both standard-size driver bits and a range of sockets. MSRP: $29.99-$49.99.

All kit contents come in a durable and conveniently organized hard case with a clear see-through lid.
