Wrenches
I have adapted a 1/4 inch drive deep, 6 point socket onto a T-handled hand
tapping wrench. It makes for a balanced tightening tool for long spins of the
nuts onto the T bolts. The T handle is removable to easily stash in a tool
pouch.
Don't forget the anti-seize goop.

Hello Darryl,
I am a big fan of manually tightening all bolts and panel clips on any array.
I have done this on a MW tracker and racking systems on schools, which were
checked by a special inspector who required them to be hand torqued and yes
it's a lot, but in many peoples minds hand tightened is worth it. I do know
folks who use a cordless drill and turn the setting down so as not to strip
bolts and then go through and torque by hand.
Mostly this is a personnel opinion on the process and wanted to relay my
experiences.

Hi all, I need advice
I am soon starting a 1000 module system, uning top down mounts, What power
tools will tighten to torque specification? I will want to tighten each SS
1/4" nut on bolt to proper specs. This is about 2000 bolts, so i want a power
tool, either air or battery electric, or electric that will tighten to
specification.
Thanks Darryl
