Their manuals do not state the needed amount of force. The manuals are often lacking information.Basically it is all bullshit again. I still would not use few penny screwdriver like that, after few times it most probably becomes loose, especially in hands of those who tend to overtighten screws.
Also I can bet... 6cNm are way too weak for some screws. 6-14 cNm is the needed force. I am tightening screws in mobile phones 6-12cNm according to the manufacturer manual. And those are ~M1.2
hard pass.
Recently there were quite a few posts on Reddit complaining about stripped screws (sometimes even stripped from the factory). The timing of EK suddenly releasing a torque screw driver seems awfully convenient.
Here are a couple of quotes from them:Thank You.
