MCB/RCBO screwdriver

[IAmSparkytus!]

Hi all,

I once had a CK screwdriver which was specifically designed for the terminals of an MCB and RCBO. I think it may have been called a power-drive but can't seem to see anything online.

Does anyone know the type I'm talking about and have any idea where I can get one online?

Thanks.

Does everyone have one of these for terminating fuse boards or do you all prefer the electric torque drivers?

a bit off topic, but today i was on a job and found the N tail in hagar main switch loose. fairly recent dual RCD board. neither pozi., +/-. even impact driver would get the bloody cage to grip the cable. before even biting on the cable it was locked solid. luckily had a replacement on van. ( different make but lined up perfect. sourcing a hagar would leave customer without leccy till monday, so sod 18th. ?.).

I was lucky enough to win one of these a while back which comes with the slotted/PZ driver...

Prefer it to my torque driver now, using the perfectly calibrated torque driver between my ears...

I’ve got one, tel. It’s yours for £120, ?

 

[Dustydazzler]

Don’t do enough new builds on price these days to justify £150 on a fancy electric screwdriver

These were really popular back when I did loads of house badgering

I've got the Facom terminal screwdrivers, both Pozi/slotted and Philips/slotted but I don't use them that often. I don't find much advantage in terms of cam-out or maximum torque, compared to any other well made tip that fits the terminal screw correctly.

A couple of brands call them Borneo drivers which I assume is a play on the french for terminal. I get a sense of them being a solution for a non-existent problem. OTOH the traditional Steadfast terminal driver is a universal solution that fits almost every screw on the planet.

I don't know....
You wait 12 years for a thread on +/- screwdrivers...
Then you get 2 at once!
This one started in 2009, just got answered!!!

what kind of screwdriver is this called? help!

I am looking for the type of screwdriver you get for doing fuseboards, you know the kind that looks like 2 flat heads crossed like this + or looks like a star driver with the tip cut off, it fits into the screws used on consumer units perfectly, i have looked for them in local tool shops butt...

I've also seen that tip referred to as 'Modulo'

Decided against an electric torque screwdriver and have went for a new set of Klein drivers and ill look at buying the Klein SL/PZ2 driver to match.

Risky though when I've never held a Klein screwdriver before, might find i dont like them!

Anybody use them? I think they look like a decent driver.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Klein s are nice
