I'm looking for a screwdriver that will allow me to check the torque on the line side of this SW.

My buddy only left these guys alone for a couple hours. We all make mistakes.
But pipe it, pull the wire and terminate both ends?
Turn of your I-pod, Put down your I-phone and pay attention.

I would fix that with a grinder that was no mistake.

Go with Mark's suggestion. Just remove the cover completely by removing the two screws and then curse at the guy who installed this mess.

To borrow, and slightly alter, Chris' statement, I think I have a great idea for a shop poster, that, unfortunately, seems fitting in today's shops.


TURN OFF YOUR I-POD
PUT UP YOUR I-PHONE
AND START PAYING I-TTENTION
 
Looking at the work, I would say a 1st or 2nd year apprentice did that work, one who carried pipe and got coffee up until this job, his 1st job...jeez this is just awful work.

Now that I think of it after looking at the pic again, I think maybe these were exchange students...exchange them for some other students.
