I've never used a torque screwdriver, and I've never envisaged having to use one in a domestic situation.
I always thought it was something you just get a feel for, like knowing how much pressure to apply on a cable to strip the insulation off but not cut right through it.

The only time I used a torque screwdriver I was surprised how tight the MI stated value was. It was WAY more tight than the maximum setting on the impact driver I usually use.

Impact driver?? What are you using that on?

Impact driver?? What are you using that on?

Something he doesn't give a ---- about ?

...And what do you do when it's torqued up to the recommended setting,and it is not enough?

Leave it loose,or wonder why you bought one...:conehead:

Torque screwdrivers have their place,but not in the normal sparks remit...

I haven't got a device to measure how full my bladder is,either....i just seem to know :joker:

Use the correct size driver and get tight without screwing the bollox off it, then give the wires a wiggle and check tightness again.
In industrial environments there's usually a planned maintenance system in place to check connections are tight at set periods. lose connections can also be found when conducting a thermographic inspection.
