Found this today on a PRS EICR it was the places first test in 10 years after being built. Due to the lack of plastic pieces in the enclosure I can only assume the original installers knew they had done it and left it like that!
Or did you break it trying to get out and blame other peaple. Lol
 
Another EICR with a dodgy RCD.
Power off, cover off, quick start with a visual.

Saw this straight away.
Tried to tighten it, but wouldn’t tighten at all. Assumed they’d put it behind the clamp, so pulled the tail out.
They’ve actually managed to somehow snap the clamp so it will not tighten, so it’s just been resting in there ever since.

FYI, house was newly built 2 years ago!

Ok.... so have you replaced it, or left them with the dodgy untight cable until you can replace?

"They all do that sir"
 
No No the Torque driver is to jamb into the terminal to hold the conductor in place ? it would be the most useful thing I'm used mine for.
So use the torque screwdriver as a pry bar and one of these to tighten the terminations...?
