Bill,
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.
Thanks again.

I like the CDI product line <http://www.cditorque.com/> 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.

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