Discuss Anyone got Wiha Torque screwdriver in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I mean regardless of whether he uses a torque screwdriver or not, if he tightens it to the point that the conductor breaks it is too damned tight!

I agree I was just trying to point out what I thought your post meant.
 
I guess according to two people I have no electrical experience And my gold card means nothing. Do you think I hadn't notice the broken 1mm and thought owell I will just leave it loose and walk off? I was just advising the bloke that they can cause 1mm terminations to snap under the NM which the manufacturer recommends. Who do you think you are calling someone else's electrical experience into question anyway? It's a bit rude.

Don't think either of us deserve that response, I for one NEVER bring your expertise or quals into question,
 
These torque settings are just a way for the manufacturer to wriggle out of loose connection claims. They know full well no one installs like that and if something goes wrong they can simply say the MCB was not installed as per our instructions. You cannot get a better connection than one that you can feel is tight. No torque drivers and no drills will ever be as reliable.

Just being pathetic for the sake of it. Winds me up i was only trying to help the op. Not get into a petty tool measuring match
 
I sort of hear what they are saying though. The MCB recommendation may not be the same as the cable manufacturer recommendation so which one would you follow? Or just use your hand and common sense to terminate properly.
