torque screwdrivers

[Tidy Max]

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.

you need to calibrate them every year and if i recall its between £40-60+

I didn't know that! Calibration is a licence to print money. I might start a calibration company so i can calibrate the calibrators.

But you missed the second lower case first person personal pronoun.

Must try harder. :26:

Who does it ? (Sorry, I can't be bothered to google it). Does anyone know what schemes are asking for it? Can one fail an assessment for failing to have it?

 

[VoltzElectrical]

try facom, there protwist (red vde) drivers are stronger.

wera are softer than wiha drivers

I'm off to look if they do the slim line ones, unless you know and have a link. Wink.

i dont think there is a reg to say you need one.

besides we dont have to follow MI, it was cleared up in latest amendment

If you do the neutral bar or earth up as much as it states 3nm, then it snaps conductors very easily, I do own one, but would rather just use my head.

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

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.

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)

and he missed the 's' from their certificates

I don't have access to the latest amendment. I am surprised that we are now allowed to circumvent MI though.

You all must understand that I sometimes throw in a curveball to keep you on you're toes.

If you read the post, I am obviously referring to a singular item. Muppet.

Oh, I just saw the avatar!
