Re: Inexpensive torque wrench for power panel lugs?
Use a nut driver (screwdriver with a socket on the end) instead of a ratchet or wrench. It's an electrical connection. Just because it's a hexagon and you can put a ratchet on it doesn't mean it is meant to be tightened until you can't turn it anymore or a *click* tells you to stop. A little thinking here will easily substitute for a $35 torque wrench to tighten a couple nuts.
