Not strictly electrical but anyone used them
Supposedly open the tightest truck wheel nuts with ease
No particular use for them but i'll be testing soon😁
Hi guys,
Hope you're all well!!
Due to a recent influx of commercial/light industrial work which has just come in, I am in the market for a decent torque wrench which will be suitable for the majority of single and three phase distribution boards.
I think a suitable torque range would be...
Hi Chaps
I've got a Wiha torque driver but only came with couple of bits (below)... none of which fit 'outgoing side' of Contactum RCBO's.
Anyone know what size I'd need please ? So can order up
Tried their technical but no one there until next week 🙈
Cheers Sy
I have had mine about 3 years ( maybe longer ) and have never bothered to have it reset
Does anyone or has anyone bothered to have their vde torque screw driver reset / calibrated ?
Looking to purchase one of the above.
Preferably an electric torque if there's such a thing? One I found on the Web said it only tightened to 0.2nM and then had to be manually tightened after that.
Any recommendations?
Thanks.
Not that I've ever used one, but I have been known to mess around with torque wrench's and cylinder heads in my younger days!
Torque wrenches do need calibrating because going to tight with an aluminium head after a gasket change can result in expensive mistakes.
I guess this could be the...
So , long story short i recently lost my torque screwdriver set which was a Draper one which I think cost me about £60 off Amazon
I fancied a change and looked at the Armeg and Wera torques but both are £100 ish
What makes these worth £40+ more than a Draper set ??
I've just started my training and am interested in what tools are essential when first starting out. Is the torque screwdriver regarded as one of the useful tools in the toolbag? Thanks
just thought I'd post these here in case anyone was interested in them. Have them advertised elsewhere also so may be removed any time.
Armeg torque screwdriver set
Wiha torque screwdriver set
Wiha Speede set with 6 bits
All barely used and have storage related marks on cases.
Anyone recommend a decent company for torque screwdriver calibration that won't break the bank?
Some companies seem to be pretty close to the price of a new one which would start to get expensive over the years.
I don't suppose anyone has put together a spreadsheet with a table of torque settings for popular/common brands/devices?
Hoping to save some time if it's already been done and shared here
Many thanks
I am having more dealings with western power. In turn, they are now fitting series 8 cut outs and generally an isolator. Both of these have hex key screws. I am not comfortable using my uninsulated set.
I have a draper torque screwdriver and it would be great if they do some hex key's that fit...
I have been umming and arghing about a torque screwdriver for some time but have not yet bought one.
My fears are the following:
1. There are set torque settings that conductors in a consumer unit should adhere to. However, in the neutral bar which are screw terminals I tend to screw a 6mm in...
Anyone got any recommendations for one? I've got all manner of normal VDE screwdrivers but don't have anything like this yet.
Any preferences? Ones to avoid? Bottom, mod, top end of spectrum?
so I need to add 1 mcb to a rather old existing mem consumers unit
I have managed to source the mcb via ‘cough’ eBay ‘cough’
But it doesn’t have the manufacture spec installation instructions manual for correct torque
Should I..
A , contact mem helpline for further information
B , wing it and...
Ok tin hat on for a minute...
I have never ever bothered to acquire or use a torque rated screw driver
I have been offered a second hand wiha one by a mate for £20 as he is buggering off to Spain to work
Are they worth using ?
