As far as I know, the other problem with them is you have to have them calibrated. I don't know how often, who does it, what it costs, or even if it is true. I also heard some schemes are asking to see them and their calibration certificate.

I used one once on a job for someone who had one, and (and or comma, not both) I was surprised how tight the manufacturer's stated torque for the MCBs i was using was.

I would like one, because I am a tool junkie, but I can't justify the price.

However, I just broke another bit from my WIHA slim vario set today to go along with the other lost and broken ones. I might get the WERA ones next, but it won't be the torque ones.

I had the torque setting in my wrist, elbow and ear synchronised and it works perfectly!

Let battle commence.

Marvo, keep out of things you don't understand. Spelling and grammatical correction is MY JOB.

Got ya you nappy wearing little Grammar ----:grin:
 
Calibration would normally be specified after a certain number of uses rather than a specified time period. Also they should be checked against a reference unit on a regular basis.

And being reliant on springs etc for their accuracy they should always be set to their lowest setting when not in use and stored/used at the specified operating temperature.

I'm off to look if they do the slim line ones, unless you know and have a link. Wink.
the insulation is smaller than say the old style wiha.

if you cant get it in, ring it with your knife then use pliers and it slides straight off (not had to do it yet and facoms my daily drivers, i have had to do it to bahco drivers in the past)
 
it's all that knuckle dragging round the zoo.
