It's more a case of using a impact driver as a powered screwdriver. Tighten to the point the cables are held then run down with the torque driver.
It takes a lot of strain of the wrists.
Now, I know some will never accept it but its not really all that controversial. You can rip the guts out...
Unless they've changed them recently, I've drilled a few out and they ain't no steel I've ever seen, don't weigh that much either.
Could be wrong though, will have to check next time I see one.
Are these plug in units or are they direct wired.
