How to assemble a Neutrik PowerCON for the mains AC cable - Custom Boards pedalboard guide

[@Grizzly01]

You shouldn't just be hand tightening the bushing (4:06). If you'd bothered to read the assembly instructions, you would have seen this: "Fasten bushing by means of a fork wrench 7/8”
(SW 22) or with the Neutrik handtool HTFAC, min. Torque 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb-ft)."
Therefore, if it's assembled properly, one would need a tool to open it up and potentially expose live conductors, just like any other mains electrical connector.
If you're going to be publishing instructional videos, then please read the instructions (www.neutrik.com/media/10217/download/bda-452---powercon---nac3fca---nac3fcb.pdf?v=1) and educate yourself.

@Alfredo Zeke Well done, I think...

for those like me who didn't know, 1.8 ft-lbs appears to be a really miniscule amount. Seems like it's about the equivalent of an intense thumb war.

You know how little 1.8lb-ft is? You must have very soft and weak hands if you cannot hand tighten to just under 2 lb-ft😂
