Why does nobody talk about the difference a $50 torque screwdriver makes on panel terminations?
I started using one on a hospital job last month and the consistency in my connections is night and day. Anyone else have a simple tool that changed their work quality?

My old boss at a data center in Phoenix made us use torque drivers on all server rack connections. We went from a 15% callback rate for loose terminals to almost zero in six months. It felt like a gimmick until I saw the actual numbers. That little click gives you real peace of mind.

Wow @margaretf40, that click is basically a legal defense for your work.

That "real peace of mind" click is no joke. My buddy's a mechanic and he swears by his torque wrench for lug nuts. Says he sleeps better knowing nothing's going to shake loose on the highway.
