[RE-wrenches] Retaining Clips

Greetings Adam, Here are a couple/few thoughts which may be helpful. Not knowing the specific circumstance(s) or goal(s) these may or may not be appropriate or useful. Use the 4-8 circuit load center you mentioned with the appropriate circuit breaker and retainer clip and do not twist out the un

Wrenchers, I’m trying to find a 60A 2 Pole Breaker Box that has a compatible retaining clip. The QO retaining clip (PK2MBCP) seems to only be compatible with their 4-8 circuit load centers. What are my options? Thanks! Thanks Adam ___ List sponsored by

My strategy is to have several spares in a multi-bay charger, and change out when the battery reads 50% (2 bars). Subjective, I know, but we are talking in-lbs when tightening rack hardware, not ft-lbs. Anyway, I'll report back to the list once I get my programmable M18's and try it out. And I'

I own the M18, and the power varies noticeably with discharge, and also with higher amp hour packs. My drill screams with a 5 AH pack! I agree its less of a drop with discharge than with lead acid or NiiCad, but its still enough to make torque settings inaccurate. R.Ray Walters CTO, Solarray

M18 lithium batteries deliver full power until they are almost fully discharged. I doubt it’s an issue. From: RE-wrenches [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Glenn Burt Sent: Monday, November 28, 2016 8:59 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Milwaukee M

I believe that the reason they don't list actual torque values for drill settings is that they can vary quite a bit depending on the SOC of the battery, temperature, drill age, etc. If its a critical torque application, I would not depend on the drill settings, but instead do a final tightening
