torquer
Fastener rotation tool
A torquer is a device or tool that applies torque—rotational force—to an object.
In mechanical contexts, it typically refers to equipment used to tighten fasteners to precise specifications: The technician used a torquer to secure the bolts to factory specs.
The term appears most often in specialized industrial or automotive settings.
