torque wrench
Precision fastener tool
A torque wrench is a tool designed to apply a precise amount of rotational force when tightening bolts or nuts.
Unlike regular wrenches, it measures and limits the torque applied, preventing over-tightening that could damage components or under-tightening that could cause parts to loosen.
Essential in automotive work, construction, and any application where fastener tension matters: The mechanic used a torque wrench on the lug nuts.
