<br>
Thanks for the tips, sources and the news that thermal imaging has
another application. FLIR offers some DIY training courses but
nowhere do I remember seeing this application. <br>
<br>
Thanks again.<br>

<div>I like the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cditorque.com/">CDI product line</a> and
use a dual scale dial indicator model for larger fasteners and
their driver for smaller electrical connections. Good quality
and pricing. They contract produce for SnapOn ( owned by them
now) and have had their own line now for quite awhile. I
prefer the dial indicator over click style to keep from over
torquing the connection, especially stainless on aluminum
rails! They also sell calibration tool that you can use in
the shop to check when you might need to send it in for
re-calibration. I believe that it is not as critical with the
dial indicators because it is using a bending beam to measure
rather than a spring clik mechanism. Since I do 3rd party
commissioning I do check my calibration at the shop before
after each job to insure accuracy. It is becoming common
practice to check torques on electrical connections by using a
thermal camera while under loads to identify connections that
need re-torquing to keep from over torquing and busting off
connectors. Loose connections show a significant higher
temperature than tight ones.</div>

Wrenches,<br>
<br>
Do you have a favorite brand/model of torque wrenches when
assembling mounts to manufacturer's specs? How do you handle
calibration?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
