@garbo8962 Год назад

About 6 years ago while attending a continuing education class the instructor asked how many of the 120 people attending owned a torque wrench. Less then 10% of us raised hands. Appears that you might have to own two small range torque drivers & two torque wrenches for large stuff. Reason for owning duplicate sets is you was told we should send them.out ever year to check calibration (send halve out the when they comeback send out the rest ). Tool & die shops that I have done electrical work I have to send out their micrometers every year to verify accuracy.

Good video... definitely a necessary topic to discuss. I bought the Wiha a while back and love it. I didn't realize how far off i was until I started using it.

@SparkyChannel 9 месяцев назад

I agree. I love my Wiha torque tool too!

@Nahum17good Год назад

Funny how NEC wants every connection properly torqued, but they still allow stab lock devices to be used. They shouldn’t be allowed.

@JohnThomas-lq5qp Год назад

Years ago I ran #2 copper wires for two foreign made injection molding machines that had some vibration and ran 24/6. Had push in stab ins for the 480 volt wires. Told the tech doing start up that I did not want to use these POS He told me they work great. Yep first machine stab in connection burnt up in less then ten days and second set was hot & discolored.

@steveloux4709 Год назад

Thanks Bill! I purchased the Wiha unit earlier this year and am super happy with it. It didn't come with bits, but I was able to order those separately from the Wiha website, which was very convenient.

Great stuff man I always wondered what brands was out there

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Thanks!

@Gruntled2001 Год назад

Bill, great video, as always. My Wheeler Firearms torque screwdriver (this is what I've been using for a while) says in the manual to turn to the **third** click, not the first. Is that different in Wiha and Wera? Also, my screwdriver manual says to set the torque setting to "0" torque when storing, so as not to ruin the calibration. Wonder what those two Germans say about that...

@paulwheeless1080 Год назад

I've used a data sheet for each piece of equipment terminated listing the terminations and required values. It is where the torque wrench(s) and its calibration date and range are documented. Also handy to mark the terminal indicating those already torqued.

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Excellent tips. Thanks Paul!

@besafe9 Год назад

For best overlapping ranges, I recommend Wheeler FatWrench for the low range (down to 10, 5 if you can find one) GearWrench for mid range, and whatever brand you prefer for the high range. All torque tools are less accurate in their low range.

@DavidD-qr2vn Год назад

We use Wiha torque screwdrivers exclusively in production for torquing inserts in machining. Bill, they also make T-handle torque wrenches for higher torque screws/bolts but not sure if they offer them in 1000V insulated or not.

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Great information, thanks!

@electricalron Год назад

Great video, Bill. How come Klein tools or Ideal doesn't make a torque screw driver? And yes, this video was helpful. I've been eyeing that Milwaukee torque wrench too so maybe that's on my list for 2023.

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Thanks Ron! Both companies make torque screwdrivers, but they are both quite expensive.

@Aepek Год назад

I use the insulated Wiha and prefer it over the pistol grip wera. Other thing like about my wiha is the low profile bits can be used for there other multi bit screwdrivers which means don’t need to buy special bits for the torque driver as interchangeable from the low profile insulated bits from the other driver kits, pretty awesome, imo👍🏻 Cheers✌🏻

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Yes, it's a quality set.

@zerosparky9510 6 дней назад

i know a sparky. that he always over screwed down the wires under a breaker. told him to quick screwing down so tight. he probably still does this to this day. He would tighten them down and i would go back and of course the copper wires would be half cut through.

@SparkyChannel 5 дней назад

Yes, over-tightening will damage the wires or cables.

@kenbrown2808 Год назад

that M-12 torque wrench is handy for Milwaukee users. It would be great if they made torque limiting driver tips, though. then you'd just carry the right set for your particular brand of panel.

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Great point! I think that would be great!

@eosjoe565 Год назад

I am surprised you can leave those screw drivers set to a specific torque value as with all other spring-style click torque wrenches you must turn the torque setting back to the minimum value prior to storage to preserve their accuracy.

@SparkyChannel Год назад

It would be best to do so IMO.

@allent555 Год назад

Nice Video, Wiha has a torque T-Handle at higher settings though

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Excellent!

@WeatherNut27 Год назад

Horrible a company cant come out with a useful design for us.. 1 doesnt screw well, one torques easier than the other, one is not insulated, one comes with a kit, one decides to have a loose key on the end. Crazy

@SparkyChannel Год назад

I know what you mean. I think the best value of all of them is the ACDelco ARM601-3 3/8" Digital Torque Wrench (2 to 37 ft-lbs.), with Buzzer & LED Flash Notification - ISO 6789 Standards with Certificate of Calibration: Amazon: amzn.to/2ttNEsf But it can't do the whole range. You need a good torque screwdriver to go with it.

@dtemp132 Год назад

Personally I use a 1/4” torque wrench with a bit adapter, does 10-150 in-lb. I use a click-style wrench but I’d get a digital one if I used it more often.

@sapreaper Год назад

...and pray and hope these are calibrated and stay as such. I have one that I can barely torque to 36lb/in on a breaker. I know it must be way off

@knoxflyer101 Год назад

Sparky....does a bathroom vent fan with light need to be on a dedicated circuit? What gauge wire? Jeff

@SparkyChannel Год назад

They are normally a part of a lighting circuit which is typically 14 g but it can be 12 g if you like. The exception would be if you had a heater with the fan/light. Then it would be wise to run a dedicated 12 g circuit to it.

@MikeDolanFliss Год назад

Question: can you explain why the ACDelco ARM601-3 3/8" Digital Torque Wrench is listed for "2 to 37 ft-lbs." but you're measuring 250 ft-lbs? Is it just certified for that lower range? How does that work?

@glasshalffull2930 Год назад

I think you confused INCH *pounds with foot*pounds. The tool was reading INCH*pounds.

@mothman-jz8ug 2 месяца назад

I prefer one with adjusting collar like the torque wrenches have, such as my old SK. Reason? Having a separate tool to adjust the tool looks like the same problem as the chuck key for a drill - something to get dropped, misplaced, etc.

@tiggeroush Год назад

Receptacles and switches, depending on who the MFG is, require anywhere from 9 to 14 in-lb. That is, the ones I have looked up so far.

Some higher end leviton receptacles say 14-18.

@@Ariccio123 I worked for them for 12 years as an electrician. Thanks for posting. That's worth a thumbs up.

@besafe9 Год назад

You need 3 torque tools, low, medium, and high range. For ABB components, the OEM torque is much lower than tables. You want a low range of 10, even 5 in/lb.

@jack_brooks Год назад

Wiha should put a reinforced hanging hole at the end of their driver big enough that you can stick the torque set tool through it. Then you could use it like a T-handle screwdriver without any other complexity.

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Good thinking. It is quite difficult to torque 50+ in/lbs. with the Wiha. Something like that might help.

@glasshalffull2930 Год назад

I was thinking a flip-out handle, but a hole works fine!

@illestofdemall13 Год назад

@dallas5374 Год назад

Where do you find the torque values?

It usually says right on the panel or device, or it is included in the manufacturer's specifications.

How hard is it to torque at 60 lb/in with the wiha?

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Very difficult. Use a torque wrench if you can for 60 lb/in.

@meawreg Год назад

love the code change videos, unfortunately Hawai'i Masters Electricians license is based off the 2008 code... just want to bring light to that,

@SparkyChannel Год назад

Interesting! So you'll be changing to the 2011 NEC for 2023? That's a big change, because of neutrals being necessary in switch boxes starting 2011. It's OK though, you'll know what is coming up for you in later years.

@besafe9 Год назад

You did the large neutral lug wrong, and violated standards. The torque is limited to a range of 90 - 100% of spec. You cannot go over. That particular torque tool should have been set to 245 to prevent going over 250.

@hezaswellguy2734 4 месяца назад

I wouldn't recommend the insulated tool for non live terminations it would get dirty and fail faster. Best to keep it clean and out of reach till needed. I also wouldn't recommend the electric torque tool because if the battery is dead you affectively don't have a torque tool. I say these things based on doing service work for 25 years.

@SparkyChannel 4 месяца назад

Thanks, good advise!

@MrJose123704 Год назад

Doable with harbor freight torque wrenches right? 😂

@SparkyChannel Год назад

I would say yes, but don't expect the same durability as the bigger name brands.

@NGinuity Год назад

They actually tested the digital torque wrenches on Tools Tested a few months ago (watch?v=0_fun-C-p7E) and Project Farm (watch?v=HP4uECoH8cc) did a non-digital test back in December. The Icon that HF sells fared pretty well in the manual department and Quinn did well in the digital realm. These were an ft-lb test though, their in-lb line might not be as good. I can't stand Harbor Freight, but they do have their niches where the value and quality are on par with each other This is one.

@zornob1439 Месяц назад

Be careful with that Milwaukee on live terminals. The manual says not to use on live circuits. And don't be fooled about quality just because a company is German, for a fact many top German brands (Knipex etc.) job out tons of work to Taiwan / China etc. and even rebrand tons of Taiwanese designed and mfged tools shown in their catalogs (that you can buy the exact same tool under a different brand name for less - look through catalog & you will clearly see especially in wire stripping tools). And btw that Whia is only accurate to -/+ 6%. My ratcheting in. lb. Tekton is accurate to -/+ 4% and is 1/4 the cost. The Whia also can not be calibrated, you have to send it in and they sell you a new handle + shipping - (fact, just call them).
