sets, the bits can fit in the teeny whiny terminals, well not all of em!
I'd also recommend getting some of those 'Plusminus/Pozidrive' SL/PZ1 & 2, if the set doesn't contain them.

After looking at the extortionate prices for what is in essence a glorified screwdriver i think i might stick with the trusted technique of swear tight. I have thankfully never had a connection come loose or caused arcing due to a loose connection so im going to give it a miss.

Seems like another scam within the industry in which scare mongering is used, thanks for the input guys but im being a tight git atm.

I couldn’t be arsed to get one calibrated every year to be honest

Every year! Another thing we have to pay for yearly, that along with MFT calibration is getting tiresome.

Damn, I knew I had to do something. Thanks for reminding me.

Now what was that again

I know what you're saying but with a torque screwdriver you "know" without doubt that you've followed the manufacturer's instructions to the letter (or number).

Depending on the calibration accuracy of the tool used

Here’s a link to some manufacturer’s torque settings:

Not sure how much use a torque screwdriver will be on some of them?

I use the wiha torque driver. Useful to have along with manufacturers torque specs...

anything interchangable tends to get lost

Only if you don't look after your kit
