Great bit of kit. Also when not in use always wind back the torque to its lowest setting. The plus-minus is generally what most manufacturers using know as you can get the proper torque through the screw. A pozi screw will slip.
@@paul_my_plumbs_uk The bits are not slim profile so if the RCBO has deeply recessed screws you'll be out of luck. The Wiha SlimVario Torque driver set has slimline bits so it will fit. It goes from 1Nm to 5Nm which is slightly lower than the Armeg (1Nm - 6Nm), however I've not found a requirement for over 5.0Nm. The Armeg is much easier to adjust though. You can purchase bits separately for both drivers.
Good channel fella Looking for the Armeg now, I'm.in Australia so it's more challenging. Btw I bought the studdbuddy... Good piece . Keep up the channel David in Australia
The only problem I had with the armeg was with crabtree rcbos. The PZ2 head would not fit to do the deep screw of the rcbo. So in order to get the torque I had to drop to a pz1 and after a few times having to do so the pz1 head sheered.
Got it myself and love it, managed to get that set for £35, I have since added to it with the T handle and a PH2 switchblade. Glad you did this vid, could've sent you mine to use 😂
@@Tools4Sparks hi, working as electrician in Germany, well, first I am triping about the torque certificate, I had no idea..in Germany...even more triping, the torque settings are supposed to be in the manuals.....another thing that yet I have to see here... believe it mate, German efficency --- bollogs...to the core. ! I reached your chanel from the mindset of "learning for my own", not "for my job"....mandatory calibrated torque settings...hahahaha, fascinating for real supercool video and informative, now I know if I ever work at british lands, as electrician..
You should have had a calibration certificate with your Wera torque driver. I got one with mine, although I bought the handle seperately as I already had the standard VDE handle and blades, and I wanted the 1.7 -3.5Nm version.
You don’t overtighten it if you click more than once, the clicks is actually a sound because you’re not turning anymore. Only reason you don’t want to click more than once is because every torque tool has a maximum of clicks “torques” before calibration
Pretty sure my Whia came with a certificate when new.The Wiha Torque is available in three torque models,got caught out with that.And it cost me about £35 to get mine done last year,which was half the price Wiha charges.
I can’t believe that you bought the cheap version Jordan you’re missing all the best bits sure you’re going to have to buy the Allen key version for all the isolators because they wera one will be too weak. Watch my video on RU-vid of the full kit
Nice review but no discount code?? Surely for your plug of this interesting tool Armeg should have give you a discount code to share...Tut! You need to be more demanding of your sponsors.
I brought the same set as it was on offer at reduced price, I have added the extra blades especially with the older Crabtree starbreaker Rcbo's when the line terminal is so far in that the other blades don't reach because of the insulation stopping them going into the hole all the way down to reach the terminal screw. It would be interesting if the T handle would be worth getting with the extra force needed for the higher torque settings. A lot of mcbs have the pozi screws with the slot so I would say the pzs2 is for them.
@@alanrolfe218 I got the extra blades/screwdriver bits from Denmans in Hereford, CEF were selling the full sets as well at the time You can get the full set or a partial set
If you're using it to attach aircraft wings, you're building nuclear reactors or you're screwing around with iso 9001 etc, calibration, sure. Real world, meh.. Certainly not every year unless things feel weird - truth be told 0-6Nm screwing terminals in things aren't going to get so out of wack that calibration is going to do much for you, and a say 2.5Nm terminal is going to be +/-0.5Nm tolerance anyway and the tool itself - even when calibrated - might be +/- 5% on something like a screwdriver..
The whole recalibration of tools is a complete rip-off. The idea that calibration is an exacting science that requires your tools to be sent off is complete nonsense. You should be able to have it recalibrate or at any store - b&q, wickes, screw driver retorquing should not be more than 20 pounds and fluke recalibration no more than 50 pounds. How much are are you being charged? I have the wiha torque drivers at different range settings with two drivers and use the same bits. More compact and efficient.
Thing is torque wrenches used for lorry wheel tightening need to calibrated. Otherwise if the wheel comes of and they find it wasn't, then the person who tightened the wheel gets in trouble for using an uncalibrated bit of equipment. The same would also apply to sparks, its all an rip off but its also a case of if your in the dock and someone says was your screwdriver calibrated and you say no.... Then your likely to get done for whatever your in the dock for. That being said. For the product to come with an out of date cert is atrocious. I would go to who sold it to you and tell them you want a free calibration as they sold you an out of calibration product. Can you imagine if that happened with a brand new multi tester.
@@adamstewart5045 its stated by armeg that the calibration cert is valid from the date of purchase for 12 months the date on the cert is when it was done
