when did the impact driver become the tool of choice to do terminals up ?

There is, after all, more than one way to skin a cat.

Don’t tell me you use an impact driver!

I think my first/second post on this thread states that's exactly what I do.



Because my torque screwdriver is calibrated and the correct and recommended tool.


If that works for you and gives you the correct results then crack on but don't assume someone doing something differently to you doesn't know what they're doing.

I agree! I just think a drill with 1-11 torque settings is a better option

Not always I but have, in combination with a torque screwdriver.

Not watched… but is it an impact, or a torque setting on screwdriver?

I think you can get torque adapters for battery drills/drivers that are as exact as the hand held torque drivers from WERA/ WIHA ….. which is the preferred method of tightening terminals

Still as rough as a Badgers wotnot way of doing it

Don’t tell me you use an impact driver!

If he is a Butcher he still does, but knot knowing him I can't be sure

I'm trying very hard not to picture where exactly you put the torque driver while you skinned the cat with the impact driver.

Pretty much every celeb sparks on Youtube and every celeb diy training video on how to do a board change shows the sparks using an impact driver

When did this become the norm ?

Bloody disgraceful, definitely saw the best times in the late 70's to the late 80's IMO
