Essential Tools for Fastener Installation
Using the correct tools, such as calibrated torque wrenches and impact drivers, ensures that fasteners are tightened to the correct specification.
Understanding the application
Spanners, sockets, drivers and calibrated tightening tools should match the fastener drive and approved assembly method.
Selection & technical considerations
Choose a tool with the correct range and access, and inspect worn sockets or drive bits. Impact tools are not a substitute for controlled final tightening where required.
Practical checks before use
Follow calibration and maintenance requirements. Record checks for critical joints and account for lubrication and coating conditions.
