J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread VIII

I wouldn't say a cheap cordless driver you get from the hardware store is anywhere precise enough for aviation work, but I'll concede that you can indeed buy cordless torque drivers for few thousand a piece so you're indeed correct.

Considering this work can also be done by hand tools, a cordless screwdriver is actually no big deal.

Edit: I would've thought that something more akin to hosed drivers will be used.

Air-compressor and the hose are loud and cumbersome. Battery/fuel-cell much more convenient but for production work where you don't want to stop, compressor is used.

Properly fitted hose drivers with strain relief is probably better than battery driver from a fatigue point of view.

On this day 13 years ago, the J-20 took its first flight. Honestly amazing just how far it's come since then

This image in and of itself is nothing special, but it is the first that I have seen that shows the body panels/access panels in the process of being screwed down.

It looks like they are using these powerful Bosch cordless drill drivers.

Based on what?

Based on what?

Based on their appearance, it is quite likely that they are Bosch cordless drill drivers.

Nah. If you don't see the word "Bosch", don't make that conclusion because many of the local brands copy foreign designs like Dewalt, Makita, Bosch and Milwaukee even though they are unlikely to be as powerful.
