Cordless screwdrivers with torque settings | on ElectriciansForums

Discuss Cordless screwdrivers with torque settings in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

I think most will have their favourite one of the main brands of battery drill driver and/ or impact driver but use a manual torque screw driver where specific torques are specified.
 
I would say that you need to be more specific about the power you need vs. the weight of the screwdriver. Are you looking for a very light screwdriver with limited power, or a heavyweight, powerful unit?

Do you need any extra capabilities like hammer drilling or impact driving?
 
Phil, you could offer to fund a basic set for the OP, as then you can do a good deed and off set the cost against your tax bill. Win Win.

I use the de-walt gyroscopic convertable unit, since found the non-convertable/fixed unit and wish I had that instead as mainly use it straight and the fixed unit would have no 'wobble' in the handle like the convertable, is also smaller.. that said I use the dewalt alot and really like it, sadly being in Aus I had to import it (from germany) but you can get it in the uk... also had a look at the bosch blue unit avail for the $60us mark, looks ok but cant swap out the batteries like the dewalt. Would like to give it a try to sample a 'non gyroscopic' style unit.. maybe one day!

I have a Speed E. It's a gimmick at best in my view, with very few real uses in sparking. It does have some positives yes, but they are substantially outweighed.

A cracking little drill driver is the Bosch 12V. But it depends what you want to use it for as others have said.
 
Trying to keep up to speed with the thread but lost it with the bacon butties!

Are you confusing a cordless screwdriver with torque settings and the requirement to fix mcb's/terminals etc to a 'specific' torque?

I doubt you would find the accuracy with a typical de-walt or equivalent type cordless driver.
Much better to use a manual torque driver.

Absolutely correct they hold water, shrouds are totally unnecessary. 20s is 24mm spanner, 20 large is 30mm spanner.

I'm not entirely certain as it's very tough, but brittle when cold.
