Can anyone recommend a good torque tool to use? I have used a cordless drill in the past (dewalt), but haven't found a chart that indicates the setting in torque in-lbs. to use. thanks!
I doubt your boss knew the actual in-lb setting
of the drill. He was most likely just using the drill
as a tool to save his wrist and just tightening till
it "feels right". Then using the same setting next time.
Trial and error you might say. In our line of work
however, errors can be costly, if not dangerous.
I use one of these and so far am very happy with it.

Cool! Thanks for the recommendations. I can't believe I've made up so many panels unprofessionally. I don't know about you guys but out of all the installations I have been apart of, the torquing hasn't ever resulted in a failed inspection. I believe in doing things right, but exactly how stringent are inspectors when it comes to this particular issue?
