Why don't you use the correct driver - a slotted PH?

He sold them all

Aren't they slotted pz?

 

[Mike Johnson]

I think CU/MCB/RCD/RCBO terminals are +/- PZ

I still have boxes full of screwdrivers

My collection is massive, and I even have a couple slotted / philip ones in there, but I simply prefer a good old Flat head

 

[Dustydazzler]

These things...slotted cross heads. got a ck and wera one and never use them

 

[Mike Johnson]

The first time I used a +/- PZ I was surprised that I was able to put at least a quarter turn more on the terminal with the same effort, I was checking the tightness of them after installation with a standard PZ.

Same with a 5.5 slotted I reckon , you get sligthly more purchase on the terminal screw Vs a standard PZ or PH which can slip a bit when tightening down

I then bought a Armeg torque screwdriver and that was a revelation how tight manufacturers expect the terminals to be torqued, in fact I sent it back to be re-calibrated as I thought surely not that tight, the Din Rail was bending with the pressure I was putting on it.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I have a Wera and Draper Torque screwdriver and I swear they Torque differently even when set to the same NM

PZ slotted is a vast improvement on PZ, but I tend to use 6.5mm flat head on anything over 3NM

Agree, I have wrecked a couple PZ/S but never have snapped a 6.5 flat...Yet

Slotted screws can be a royal pain in the backside, but most problems result from using the wrong size of driver.

Formed from clippings of tin, I hope.

Was an old chisel ground down, I made it vde by using old pedal cycles handlebar grips

This one is more interesting than a lot I've seen recently. RCD doesn't work. Start whacking it, copying something he's seen on Instagram. (whacking it much too hard IMHO). It starts smoking.....!
I found the next bit hard to watch as I wanted to scream TURN IT OFF and LEAVE IT OFF!

(Obvious click-bait cover photo, it's nowhere near THAT interesting!)

Fair play to him, he did proceed to change the board at no cost.

Why would you trust anyone who wears a hat indoors that makes him look like a Duck.

I like NB , he seems a genuine nice guy who cares about the work he does. He reminds me a bit of me when I was his age.

I can't remember back that far.

I met him last year and he was a genuinely decent guy. Amazing that he was stuck in NI for a week and still managed to be pleasant!

Were you about 6' 6" with a hat permanently affixed to your head?

I'm 5'10 and rarely wear any sort of hat

Dim must be quite short if he thinks he's 6'6 - hea only 6'3. Probs a leprechaun lol

No idea what height I am - never needed to know and never been properly measured, but generally estimated to be just over 6' (for those who feel such information is relevant or important).

As for Nick Bundy's height? It's not really important either - at least not to me and I imagine few others care, but he did have the appearance of being tall and my response should be taken in the context of @Dustydazzler's comment (i.e. not the least bit serious).

 

[Mike Johnson]

I know my height, because at my age I keep shrinking every time I check.

 

[littlespark]

According to my BMI, I’m not overweight…. I’m just under-height

[littlespark]

For my weight and height, I should be a Ford Fiesta
