Big Spanners and Too Tight Nylon Glands?

Is this an example of over tightening?

Also some E.V. charger point testing at the end. Very interesting.

  • These are presumably the proper glass-fibre loaded nylon glands, and not the cheap all-plastic ones that jump threads. The torque can be  high then.

    some makers data
