TORQUE IT UP TO THE MAX - Electricians' Tools #shorts

Not all EV chargers are created equal. This base for an Easee charging robot needs a beefy 5.0Nm to tighten the generously sized screw terminals.

Any electrician who torques all his terminals charges way more than I can afford. 😂

[colossalbreacker]

I do that with a regular screwdriver. _twist twist twist_ *SNAP*. . . then back off a quarter turn.

[Paronak]

This tool would be useless for me.

*Add to cart*

Sits in a lunchbox unopened for the next three years.

This is a great tool and every electrician should have one. I bought a whole set, as I was a little bit scared to hand-tighten the terminals in PV inverters - they are quite expensive. Also, greetings from Poland! :-)

[TehBIGrat]

Na just a couple of click on the rattle gun and it's good.

[Area-cfgt]

This makes the same sound like when i over tighten screws 😂

[capndye]

Best practice is only 1 click for accurate torque. More than 1 and you're likely beginning to over tighten. Probably not a worry with this low torque and in a non-critical application but just putting it out there.

[MandenTV]

Would be useless for me as a plumber but looks awesome. Love your work, you guys.

[NathanaelD]

Florida now requires all panel lugs and breaker terminals to be torqued. I bought a Capri tools torque set for $130 and love it. One thing I always tell our apprentices is to never go cheap with tools.

[AntonyoKnight]

I ordered one but had to send it back few days later. The next one was also crap the seller confirmed that it was a wrong batch. I bought a much cheaper but firmer.

[bestbattle]

Don't forget to check the torque regularly!

[mpmyprojects]

Installing an Easee Box :) Cool charger and nice tool!

[posei]

How do you check the torque got a Torque setting calibration checker ( seriously!! I am also a diving systems support technician and torque settings on diving kit is a fecking site more critical than a screw in a switch😂). As for giving it a click then leaving it....I wouldn't ! Torque it, give it a tug after a few minutes as it will doubtless be loose, torque it again. This is even more critical on meter tails. Best option is to flatten the conductors cable +square hole =tears

[thepostman]

Kids these days. They will never understand the phrase "tight is tight, too tight is broken"

[eliadbu]

It's nice and can be useful on circuit breakers where you need to tighten to specific torque. I have similar screwdriver set from Wera.

[legendarypillow]

An impact screwdriver? That’s fucking epic

[pleratenpa]

Динамометрическая отвёртка - хорошая штука!

The amount of people in the comments that think this is to increase tightness of your screws is hilarious. For those not sure, this prevents overtightening and is a good aid in meeting BS7671 in saying that equipment and accessories should be installed to manufacturers instructions where the manufacturer specifies torque settings. I know there's alot of people who think they are perfect at doing this by hand but, you ain't.
