The web site for electric scaffolding
( www.powerclimber.com/newsletters/aug98.html )says that the proper torque
for 'fistgrips' is 45 lbs. on each of three fistgrips.

I know fistgrips are a different animal from cable clamps but I've never
seen a mention of the proper torque.

I'm thinking it may be different for Kevlar guys also.

All of us construction types who rode those scaffolds carried our own torque
wrenches and checked the grips prior to starting work each day.
