Re: Cox cable

  No...I'm talking about getting 7 out of 10 QCs back that fail because of loose fittings.  Everything else is tight...Ground, Tags, Gromets, etc..  I've been doing this for a long time and it is a second nature for me to reach for that 7/16 wrench.  I don't leave loose connectors.  A loose fitting didn't fail you in the past, it counted against your score, but now it drops you below 90%.  The majority of failed QCs now are for loose fittings.  This is a "word-against-word" issue.  If I forget a ground tag they can take a picture and prove it.  With a loose fitting where is the proof.  I was to the point where I was taking pictures of a wrench on every fitting while I was taking my QC pictures.  They also require us to use a torque wrench that only gets the fitting slightly over hand tight.  I stick to my 7/16 combo and just pull out the torque wrench for inspection.
