I'm a fan of the Wiha. If you can try a few different ones out before buying to see what suits you best.
Was just looking at a set of those - thanks. Is it possible to adjust the Torque settings or are they set to a unified standard, with all manufactures being set to the same setting?

Very easy to adjust providing you remember to push the torque setting driver (one with the black handle) in fully and make sure you only use it with the big red bit installed - I didn't first time I used it and nearly sent them back until I realised my mistake....:oops:

I went for the following set (appeared to be best value at the time), but to be honestly only real use the PZ/SL bit for torqueing up inside the CU.

Thanks for the info!
 
I have a Wera. Comes in a nice roll to hold multiple blades and very easy to adjust. I'm not a spark, so it's not used regularly, but qualtiy seems to be top notch.

Think there are a few variations of this driver, with different torque ranges, so you'd need to choose the one most suited for your work. I think the one I have is adjustable from 1.5-3.2Nm.

Wera on order - thank you all.
 
i already have a Wiha slim interchangeable set, so just bought the torque handle. only problem is that with the Wiha, the bits keep falling out. I've lost about 6 in the last 6 months and at £6 0dd apiece, not cheap to replace.
 
Wera for me , the standard interchange blades can be switched between the normal handle and torque handle ...

Draper also do one very similar
 
I looked at mine, it’s actually 1.2Nm to 3.0Nm

Had to go and check as this was niggling me and it is indeed 1.2-3.0Nm.

I got this set as an Amazon warehouse deal - as new for about £15 more than the driver on its own. Went with Wera as I had a couple of handles and all the blades I needed, so ended up with doubles of most. The torque driver has only been used for one job (wanted to ensure I hadn't squashed conductors to within an inch of their existence), but can not fault the simplicity or quality of it. The regular handles get used a lot and, again, I can not fault them - blades locate as solidly as the day they were new. I guess the only issue with Wera is whether or not people find the handles comfortable, but they suit me just fine.

love Wera, best screwdrivers out there in my opinion
 
Do most sporks actually use a torque screwdriver , I honestly can’t say I have ever seen one used on site ...
