Torque Wrench In Construction: Importance, Uses & 3 Top-Rated Models
All around the world, construction projects rely on one physically small component in order to be completed correctly: fasteners. Whether it be gigantic steel anchor bolts beneath a bridge or screws supporting a piece of plywood, the assembly of construction projects as a whole is mostly done using a variety of fasteners. The type of fasteners used will vary by work type, project type and design parameters, but all fasteners used on a project – both in type and size – are specified by the engineer prior to construction beginning. Given that fasteners play such a huge role in the construction assembly process, it makes sense that fasteners must be installed appropriately in order for them to meet design requirements. How do we know whether a bolt is tight enough, or even too tight? Let’s talk about the importance of the torque wrench in construction, along with some examples of common uses and 3 top-rated models on the market.
