quick one chaps starting to see alot of these torge sqrewdrivers about, which got me thinking when connecting say dbs up were we all used to, and still do just tighten up much as you can is there any set torge values you should be aiming for im not aware of any but why the need for torge sqrewdrivers then ??????
 
Re: torge sqrewdrivers

The breakers usually gave the torque value written on the side I think from memory wye ones are 2nm
 
Re: torge sqrewdrivers

Personally I don't just tighten them up as much as I can, because I can tighten them past the point of destruction, I tighten them until they are suitably tight.

If you read the instructions you will find max torque for each connection, it is also printed on the side of some MCBs etc.

I am going to buy you a dictionary mate ahaha.

To be fair i have fancied one for a while but i can't justify the money. I like that little WiHa set with the torque handle and all the interchangeable drivers but its about ÂŁ80!!

It’s quite common for an electrician to criticise another’s work as you will rarely get everything perfect.
