Anyone know where I can get an insulating cover for the handle of my torque screwdriver? It's a Utica TS-35. Dealers don't seem to be a to find one. I'm surprised covers aren't sold for this. Is there another place I should be looking? Or should I just wrap it with electric tape? Anybody know the trade secret to avoid getting shocked using this all metal screwdriver?

What does torque mean for an electric screwdriver? I understand the general meaning of torque but do not understand how it applies to my single-speed electric screwdriver, which I also use for many light drilling applications. There are torque settings of 1-22, but I haven't noticed any practical difference among the settings. Thanks.

Where can one buy screwdriver bits for a Delvo brand torque screwdriver? The exact model is DLV7323. I would prefer a company in the US as to avoid customs if at all possible. First person to point me to that type of site with prices will get my eternal love and the best answer selection! :D

Any one know where I can buy a small star/torque wrench/screwdriver to tighten my Palm handheld? The screws are about the size of screws found in eye glasses. (I stopped by WalMart's eye center tonight, but they didn't have anything that worked.) For some reason, the bottom of my Palm appears to be slightly separated making it hard to use my ear buds.

How do you adjust a Sioux screwdriver air tool for torque? Is there a tool needed to do this for this model and for other models, or is it something internal?

Ẁhy does a long screwdriver give you more torque that a shorter screwdriver? Simple answers please!

does a long handled screwdriver deliver more torque than a shorter one? I just get the feeling it does,intuitively,but I have no idea why this may be so

Physics Help: Torque- Screwdriver (Thicker or thinner handle?)? A. You need to loosen a really stuck screw. You have a choice between two screwdrivers, both of which you can grip very well. The only difference is that one of them has a thicker handle than the other. Will one screwdriver be better than the other to use to loosen a very tight screw? Why? B. What is the physics explanation for your answer? Thank you.

What is the recomended torque setting from manufacturesrs to use in Flat Panel TV repair? I'm looking for a powered screwdriver to use in Flat Panel TV repairs, I need to know the required torque range that manufacturers such as Sony, Toshiba, LG ect recommend to be used when rebuilding their unit's We are a manufacturer authorised repairer but even as an authorised repairer it is difficult to gather this data, I was hoping somebody else in a similar company has this information.

Why would the torque be the same on a bolt with a screwdriver and with a rope attached to a screwdriver.?

I want to change my hard drive on my Dell Latitude notebook, what kind of Phillips screwdriver do I need? The old hard drive is on a caddy. I need to replace it with a new drive. I have bought a tiny Phillips screwdriver for the job. But although the head and tip match perfectly, it is so tiny that I can't rotate and apply enough torque. Basically, I want to know the different sizes of Phillips screwdriver available for fixing computers and accessory, particularly I am looking for tiny head and long handle.

Torque Question: A 15.4 cm screwdriver is used to pry open a can of paint. ? A 15.4 cm screwdriver is used to pry open a can of paint. If the axis of symmetry is located 3.68 cm from the end of the screwdriver blade and a force of 70 N is exerted at the end of the screwdriver, what force is applied to the lid? Answer in units of N. Any help would be appreciated. I know it involves T = F*d , I just don't know how to use it. **** I'm sorry it says above " axis of symmetry" It actually is "axis of rotation" xD LOL i must have been thinking of my math HW when i typed that!! Sorry!! ****

How do you get the best torque undoing a large screw with a small screwdriver? If trying to undo a large flathead screw with a screwdriver that is too small (say almost exactly half the slot length and a little bit of wobble) is it best to position the screw driver in the centre or at the edge? At first I thought it would be at the edge as you'd get more leverage further from the pivot point, but I'm now I'm not so sure because I feel there may be other variables, but I don't know enough about physics / mechanics to know exactly what effect they would have.

How do you take an Xbox 360 controller apart,w/ limited resources? I am trying to take my controller apart to paint the shell and not damage the chip/buttons/etc. The torque screwdriver that I have is not deep enough to reach the two bottom-most screws. Neither Philip's nor a flat-head screwdriver appear to be working. Any help with an alternative method to open it would be great, thanks :) Stone

A painter uses a 25.8cm long screwdriver to pry the lid off a can of paint.? If a force of 85N is applied to move the screwdriver 60 degrees from the perpendicular, calculate the torque.

What does it mean when the max torque is theta = 90 degrees? (please give examples)? However, min torque is theta = 0, like door and hingle, Screwdriver...

can some one help me with this torque question-its real easy im just confused? A 22 cm screwdriver is used to pry open a can of paint. If the axis of rotation is 3.29 cm from the end of the screwdriver blade and a force of 41 N is exerted at the end of the screwdriver’s handle, what force is applied to the lid? Answer in units of N.

why is it easier to loosen the lid of a paint can with a long handled screwdriver rather than a short one? i know it has something to do with torque i just dont know how to explain it.

How can I accurately gauge measure a flexible plastic feature? Its got to be low cost & easy to make. An ABS plastic plate is mounted by its centre to a metal fixing plate, spaced away from it. Points on the perimeter of the plastic plate need to be measured accuratley from the metal plate. Obviously this is a simplified model of the task but the principle is there. I've considered a spring loaded pin but the plastic part to measure could flex away so distorting the measurement. I've considered a fine threaded pin with a friction break, like some torque screwdrivers work . But I can't figure out a low cost & accurate interpretation. Any other ideas?

Help with a Torque Q? Assume that the screwdriver is in equilibrium. This means the torque you apply to the screwdriver equals the torque the screwdriver applies to the lid. A 16 cm screwdriver is used to pry open a can of paint. If the axis of rotation is 2.73 cm from the end of the screwdriver blade and a force of 80.6 N is exerted at the end of the screwdriver’s handle, what force is applied to the lid? Answer in units of N. Thanks! :) i noticed since it was wrong

How do I unscrew tiny screws from a computer part with a tiny, useless screwdriver? I'm manually replacing a defective dvd drive with a replacement in my laptop, and I can't for the life of my use my tiny screwdriveer to remove tiney screwSs! If i can't get this done, I won't be able ti instal shit. I'm posting with a giant cavity in my laptop, and I sure as hell not play anty game without my new dvd drive in place. I transfered the bessel over to the new dvd drive, but I can't pull out any of 4 screws that connect 2 metallic parts to my old drive, and I'm just gonna strip that shit if I spend any more time on it! Any ideas how I can get more torque on a small screwdriver with a small grip radius? My hand just slips over the handle, and if I do get enough grip by squeezing with all my heart and soul, the flathead just skips over to the next groove on the x-screw. I don't have a small enough phillips that won't just rotate around the screw. This flathead should work, I just can't maintain torque and grip. To edit this, my screwdriver fits into the screw, but they're in there so tight, I need to be one hell of a man to be of any consequence to the rotation of that bitch. I fuckin' hate manufacturers.... make shit IMPOSSIBLE to disassemble. More detail.... it fits, but I need more torque, because my hand just slips over the screwdriver. When I have enough strength to not slide around the handle, I don't have the control to keep the head from skipping through the groove. i need to find an easy way to gain more torque in a controllable manner in regards to tiny screwdrivers. I have a precision screwdriver set. My "#0" phillips just spins outside all the grooves, unable to sink in to the grooves at any angle. My 1.4 m/m flathead is what I was using for the most part, and that is what is causing the aforementioned problem. It's handle is too tiny for my hand to maintain grip, and if I DO maintain grip, the screws are set so tightly that I can't keep the screwdriver in the groove because I'm using all my strength for my hand to stay in contact with the handle. I haven't found a plier yet : ( I'm still lookin. I think my roomates might have one..... they are not home. Here are 2 pics of the parts attached by these stupid screws!!! http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq164/pbullara/IMG_1120.jpg http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq164/pbullara/IMG_1121.jpg See how tiny the input is? its is like 20% of th distance across the diameter is dedicated to giving me the ability to twist the damned thing. 80% of the metal exists as deadweight!!! Screws aren't engineered to be deadweight! They're engineered to fucking be sturdy, but they're also engineered to give me the ability to T W I S T it! These screws gives no screwdriver any considerable lever arm. Let me know what you think I should do. I think it was a mistake to do this on my own. I should have sent my laptop in and let them use their robots to do what I'm trying to do, LOL. here is 1 more photo to supplement the other 2, showing my extremely thin flathead screwdriver next to the part in question. I also have very thin precision phillips, but they won't fit inside the screw, so this flat one is all I can deal with unless I go shopping.... well.... here it is. http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq164/pbullara/IMG_1122.jpg Oh, that screwdriver in that final picture is actually 1 size too large. I was using a smaller size and put the wrong one in photograph. If u could imagine a smaller screwdriver than that..... yea, I was using it. It's a 1.4m/m screwdriver, and it just plain ain't workin'. : ( I'm goin' to bed, gonna try a set of plyers in the next few days. I don't wanna do taht chemical stuff that watchmaker mentioned. This is a dvd player replaced under warranty, and I can't damage it. Here is the REAL screwdriver, even SMALLER. http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq164/pbullara/IMG_1134.jpg

How do I remove the screws in a 2005 Kia Sedona front rotor? My 2005 Kia Sedona has two torque screws in the rotors. I cannot remove them with my screwdriver. Wondering if there is an easier way to extract them as I've never changed rotors with these screws thru them before.

How can I remove the rusty drain from my tub? I am trying to instal a new drain line from my tub to the house's main line. I cannot unscrew the original drain from the tub - it is disconnected from the overflow, etc. The drain is a very hard metal, possibly iron - I broke my screwdriver trying to pry it up. I have a Brasscraft drain wrench that I can't get any torque on. (a little background on what I have already tried.) Any suggestions?

How tightly should I tighten a Fernco coupling? So, this coupling is in a slightly awkward spot. With my screwdriver, I've tightened it almost as much as normal. I could probably get another half turn out of it if it were easier to reach. I could get my drill and go further, but I guess I don't really know how tight you want those. The sticker says 60lbs of torque I believe, but I don't know how tight that is...

physics question about torque? To turn a stubborn screw, it is best to use a screwdriver that has a a. wide handle. b. smooth handle. c. long handle. d. none of these its non of these right? cuz the torque is at 180 degrees

is a 6 volt screwdriver strong enough? black and decker screwdriver. The drill features a spindle lock for manual use, forward/reverse slide switch, rubber grips for comfort, narrow nose, 6.0 volts, torque 20 in-lbs, and revolutions/min 130 rpm. is it strong enough than say using human strength? here's a picture of the screwdriver: https://www.netmarket.com/ProductImages/large/1049014.jpg

Word to describe the head of a phillips screw where the head has been worn or mangled? Where the original screwdriver used won't now turn the screw cause the screwhead has sort of been damaged by excessive moving or torque? I think theres a term/name for it.... ? Thanks

Where can I get a large precision screwdriver/tool kit? Some years ago I had a large (around 30-40 pcs?) kit of precision tools. It was just like one of those sets of around 10 precision screwdrivers; but also included tools for umbraco-keys, hex-keys and wrenches in the same design. It also included a pin to stick into hole in the shaft, to get extra torque. The whole thing was in a plastic-box with a sliding cover. Does anybody knows if something like this is still made, and where I can buy one?

How tight should rings be around a scope? I don't have a torque-screwdriver and I've never mounted a scope before. I put a Nikon 4x32mm on my .22LR, but I may have made it too tight. Can someone somehow describe to me how tight the rings should be screwed down? Right now, there's now way in hell the scope can rotate out of position, even if I tried to turn it with significant force...is that too tight? @USAFisnut: I don't understand this part: "Then I use either a bore sight (Bushnell) or a laser sight to line up the scope with the rifle bore. I do this at home with sand bags and take my time." I thought that once you mount the scope, all you need to do is go sight it in at the range. Isn't there nothing you can adjust once you've screwed down the rings other than the windage and elevation?

Reloaders,please help me not to waste my bullet,powder,time. PART 2? First thank you all for inspiring answers on my first question,I couldn't explain about my rifle setup and my handload method on my first ques. coz it was getting quite longer.Well,i use wheeler fat wrench torque screwdriver for all screws on my rifles and they 're up to factory specimen.Warne scope bases,burris signature scope ring's screws holding a 30mm scope were all tighted with lock-tie on it and yes i do always clean my rifle after range/hunt.About hand-loading,i do tumble clean my cases,deprime/resize using Redding full length sizing die.I clean,deburr,uniform the flash hole using rcbs/redding tools.I use same primer as per loading book,charge the case with same powder weighing with rcbs rangemaster 750 scale and cap it with berger vld hunting bullets which i weigh and separate with same weight bullets coz they too are off +/- .001 grain & sometime +/- .002 (i hope this weight error by factory is not gonna effect on the group for a long range shooter/hunter lets say for upto 800 yds, would it?) I don't weigh the cases and separate nor i do look for empty case neck run out on my RCBS case master,i just use that for bullet run-out after it's been slammed on the case with Redding seating die though i could use it for much more.I do follow berger bullet seating depth seriously so they are always longer than book MAX COAL like a single shot rifle coz one is all the magazine could hold on that length.So what possibly should i have done wrong on this vast world of reloading and what should i do just to get constant group size out of my rifle? Thank you so very much effort.

Cant remove bolts from my brake calipers!? I need help removing them because I cannot get them off. The bolts have rubber boots on them. I looked inside to see the size of the bolt to adjust my torque wrench but the bolt is not normal. It looks like you would need an extra large phillips head screwdriver to get it out. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? I have no idea what tool to use/get

Asbestose in my vacuum exiting air stream? Why would Eureka do that? You need 3 kinds of screwdrivers, the torque most don't have that is where the asbestos is, black torque screws holding 2 pieces in place. Have a look for yourself, check the exiting air stream on upright vacuum. Do you have a Eureka? Nice try killing off the human race... why would this company do that? brat - I just took it appart to see the Hepa filter and sure enough 2 pieces of asbestos screwed in the airstream exiting. I took them out, why throw out the vacuum? I am going to submit them to testing. Salam William - no billy boy I got those 2 small squares out of the backside of the exiting air stream. You have to take off the filter area with 2 screw drivers to see them... Have a better look. William - I will take pictures for you and then you can see for yourself. Rich - I am the Journeyman, believe what you like, I know what I am looking at. This machine is referbished so I am going after the sticker to see who made the repairs. I can't see Eureka don't that either, but someone is playing around with evil and death. Corkey - this is a square piece screwed right in the middle of it, made at the entire process of the machine from plastic mold injection to the architect who designed its mold. This is 2 pieces not around the motor or near anything hot, but is in the area behind the hepa filter. Can you people read? HAHA holy crap! its designed in there EZ CLEAN models... easy death more like it... its sabatoge!! Justice League Batman

How do I calculate this linear force? I have a screwdriver spinning a 0.5in diameter gear. That gear is spinning a 4 in diameter gear. The output torque of the small gear is 8 in*lbs. I know that Power = torque * velocity. So there is a linear relationship. As the torque increases, speed decreases. According to the definition of torque=Force*displacement, I am and generating 8 times the torque out of my gear setup. So I have an output of 64 in*lbs of torque and the velocity of the larger gear reduces by 8 times (initially 120RPM, now 15 RPM I am converting the rotational motion to linear motion. My question is how do I calculate the linear force provided from the torque increase in the large gear?

Advice on removing seized sparkplugs? Ive got a small problem with spark plugs which feel like thier cemented into my engine block, they're fair arkward to get to, under the fuel tank and into the engine of the zzr Im thinking if I use a T handle ratchet to get the most torque possible im just going to ruin the cylinder heads An improv T hadle (drilling a hole through a normal screwdriver and putting a metal rod through the hole) nearly fucked up the screwdriver, the amount of force I put on it, but it just looks like rubber/plastic compound Ive oiled the plugs for now, and decided to wait until I get some opinions If its a mechanics job Im just gonna have to scrap her, there's quite a bit of DIY needs doing before I even take it for an MOT

Question about air impact guns? Do impact guns have a built in torque setting? So when it reaches a certain torque, say 80lbs it just cuts out? When doing high torquing with a air impact gun, will it wrench your wrist/arm if you dont hold it proper? I have a dewalt 14.4 cordless screwdriver xrp where if you dont holt it properly, it will break your wrist. What are some things to look for with a good quality impact gun? What are some things to avoid when purchasing one? Any recommendations for a good middle of the road air impact gun to handle automotive (axle nuts, crankshaft bolts, lug nuts, etc. etc.)

transmission is making noise!!? I have a 73 plymouth duster. The transmission in a torqueflite 727 automatic. There is a clicking noise coming from the bell housing of the transmission. Sounds about the same as a small screwdriver tapping on metal. I don't know if the sound is still there while driving, because the car is so noisy you cant hear anything. I have checked the torque converter bolts and they are all tight and the torque converter does not budge at all. And I don't think I need to be too worried, because i noticed the ticking noise is exactly in tune with the engine idle. (in other words, the transmission ticks when a cylinder fires.) I do have headers on the car that fit pretty tight and im wondering if one of them just moved a bit and is rattling against the transmission case (might of moved due to exhaust pipes being installed). And all the bolts on the transmission dust cover are tight, so that's not making the ticking either. But just to be for sure, I'd like some opinions so I can rule out everything else. Cause I'd sure hate to be wrong and end up having to replace the whole tranny. Thanks.

scooter problems can someone help? im not sure wht these parts are technically called but im gonna do my best explaining what's wrong.the problem is the gear belt that goes to the rear tire broke, and the end gears to which the belt is connected are extremely hard to get of. there are nuts at the and of the gears but are so tight that we couldn't pull it off with two people pulling(while using as much torque as we could). even if we could muster u enough strength to take these nuts off, the gears spin with the bolt! so anytime we make an attempt to turn the nut off we have to jam the gear with a screwdriver, which inevitably slip off. we cant seem too pull it off, even though it sounds so simple you wouldn't believe how tight that nut is...so now i ask for opinions and help on how we can pull this off.

How do I fix my dying Water Heater? For about a 3 weeks, our hot water situation has been deteriorating. At first, it was barely noticeable - you'd have to turn the cold down a bit as your shower went along. It's gotten worse. Now it's hot at first, but fades QUICKLY...5-7 minute showers, and you've got the cold valve 100% off by that time. I went to look at the hot water heater, and I found 3 discarded, sediment encrusted, rusty heating elements sitting on the ground next to it, so I know elements have been switched out on the unit in the past. We've been in the house 3 years now with no problems. We're on a well, and our water is hard and very sediment-y. I had to clean white particles out of LOTS of water valves in the house to get adequate water pressure/flow when we moved in. SO...I suspect the bottom element (it's a 52 gallon tank with an upper and lower heating element) has become encrusted (if not immersed?) in sediment within the tank, causing it to burn out or making it unable to disperse it's heat effectively. I purchased a new element and the socket to remove the old element, but I can NOT get the old one out. I'm sure it's threads are locked in place with rust and/or sediment. I've bent or broken 3 screwdrivers (which you use to crank the socket) trying to get it loose! I've gotten pretty good torque on it - enough to bend/break screwdrivers - but it won't budge. That's what I did all day yesterday! Any suggestions on HOW TO GET THIS @#$%ING THING OFF?? I've tried WD-40 and PB Blaster with no luck...and my knuckle is seriously very bloody! I also wonder if there could be a different problem - maybe a thermostat? Can anybody offer advice on diagnosing the problem or at least confirming my diagnosis? Now that I know how difficult this is, I want to be extra-sure I have the problem diagnosed correctly. I have a multimeter and am comfortable using it. I know it's on a 220 circuit, and it seems like a really simple thermostat controlled heating element, so I figure I can test it and make sure I'm going after the right thing. So that's my two questions - how do I get the old thermostat out, and how can I confirm my diagnosis? Any relevant advice would be appreciated - thanks!

physics question about torque? To turn a stubborn screw, it is best to use a screwdriver that has a a. wide handle. b. smooth handle. c. long handle. d. none of these its non of these right? cuz the torque is at 180 degrees
