For info on that please see London Fire Brigade, Emma Clancy, Certsure, NICEIC and all the other parasites that form our trades information Hub, as well as numerous Screwdriver manufacturers who have grown fat on flogging these torque tools.Don't get me wrong I ain't trying to scupper the thread here, I think the question is relevant, well to us older generation... the only torque critical equipment that manufacturers made in my mind was Schneider's power board MCCB where you tightened the plastic head until it snapped off which guaranteed the right torque. Other than that example, I haven't experienced any other equipment electrical specifying torque settings and the industry expecting you to buy torque set equipment.

I find all this torque somewhat strange, we never had torque info' or tools pushed onto us back in the day, we just learnt what was about right and I have yet to return to any job because I under or over tightened a cable termination.
Is this just another money spinning exercise by the industry or do we really have masses of professionals making bad terminations?

I had two sets Mate but flogged emYou are the top of the list of 'tool tarts'; go on buy one, keep it in the cupboard.
Might be nothing to do with connection, just a faulty unit.I've been advised it's all about liability. Say there's a fire due to a consumer unit you fitted and you don't have a (presumably calibrated) torque screwdriver, then the manufacturer is off the hook and you're on your own.

Might be nothing to do with the driver, wrongly positioned cable.
Sales people haven't been trying to s*** you up, have they?
How's that going to be proved?No, tutor. He pointed out that if you don't torque to manufacturer's specs, then it isn't installed to manufacturer's specs, therefore the manufacturer can wash their hands if it goes tit5.

Don't be taken in by all the bull****.
