Title: Torque Screwdrivers?
Post by: Free Energy Freak on September 29, 2014, 05:27:52 PM
I will be in Oregon, on or about the 16th of November. While I am there (3 months), I want to buy some things to bring back with me. One of those things is a torque screwdriver. Now, I have owned torque wrenches in the past, when I lived in the US. However, I have never owned a torque screwdriver.

I want to buy one to use with my Kid, Midnite breakers, etc.


Does Midnite sell them? Can someone at Midnite (or elsewhere) tell me where the best place would be to buy them?


Thanks,

Thanks, Don. First one I have ever seen.

I used to work on a metal cutting lathe, many moons ago. For some reason, thinking about this screwdriver / wrench reminded me of the short time I was a machinist. The tool holder would clamp down to inch-tonnes. I will never forget that old lathe, 60" swing.

Thanks,

I bought a Wheeler many moons ago. Used it for gunsmithing, now use it on solar and gunsmithing. Very pleased with this unit.

I know this is an old topic. I got one of those torque screwdrivers (really nice...will use it on my AR-15 rifle too). Anyway...what is the recommended torque for the Classic's DC terminal connector?
