A torque wrench is a tool used to apply precisely a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt.

It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms.

It was invented by Conrad Bahr in 1918 while working for the New York City Water Department.

It was designed to prevent overtightening bolts on water main and steam pipe repairs underground.

Hydraulics (From Greek: Υδραυλική) is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids or fluids.

At a very basic level, hydraulics is the liquid version of pneumatics.

Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the applied engineering using the properties of fluids.

In fluid power, hydraulics are used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by the use of pressurized liquids.

Hydraulic topics range through some parts of science and most of engineering modules, and cover concepts such as pipe flow, dam design, fluidics and fluid control circuitry, pumps.

The principles of hydraulics are in use naturally in the human body within the heart and the male erection.

Heat treating is a group of industrial and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material.

The most common application is metallurgical.

Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass.

Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve a desired result such as hardening or softening of a material.

Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering, normalizing and quenching.

It is noteworthy that while the term heat treatment applies only to processes where the heating and cooling are done for the specific purpose of altering properties intentionally, heating and cooling often occur incidentally during other manufacturing processes such as hot forming or welding.

A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal, especially if the item is not consumed in the process.

Tool use by humans dates back millions of years, and other animals are also known to employ simple tools.
