had to get that in quick before you took **** again
As far as I know, the other problem with them is you have to have them calibrated. I do't know hoe 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 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!
Agreed!
Anybody who can't tighten a screw properly with an ordinary screwdriver should never be allowed anywhere near one.
Bolting cylinder heads and the like down are where torque devices come into their own but a screw in an MCB????? WTF!!

Do any of you really know how to use a torque driver or wrench?
They’re not as simple as you might think.
Same goes for erecting modular Main MV/LV Switchboards and the like, where most bolted connections are manufacturer stipulated and need to be adhered too, especially on the main bus bars construction.
Can't really see the point with MCB cable connections, although it may go a long way in helping to eliminate the loose connection problems often talked about on here!!
it always suprises me how many people simply dont know the difference between a Phillips and a poziI would venture that the bulk of these "problems" are down to poorly formed threads in busbars and on terminal screws which are made from poor quality materials in the first place! Compare them with those old fashioned things that some of you are so fond of needlessly replacing sometime!
The rest is down to people who first don't know how to select the right screwdriver for the job, how to use it properly and how to look after it properly.
I don't know what you mean, they are all star heads:39:it always suprises me how many people simply dont know the difference between a Phillips and a pozi

i forget which way round it is, but 1 driver fits the other screw, but not vice versa, at least without the aid of a hammer. ( this is the joiner's forum, innit?)
