When is a torque wrench used to tighten a bolt?
My partner got me a car repair kit as I’ve been learning how to do my own car-related touchups and repairs—I have a bit of a beater, so I deal with issues pretty often. I’m going through the various tools in the kit—when is a torque wrench used to tighten a bolt, generally?

Congrats, that sounds like the perfect gift! A torque wrench is a tool for controlling and applying a specific torque to a fastener, such as a bolt or nut. A torque wrench is used to tighten a bolt when you’re working on your engine or powertrain components, on your cylinder head’s bolts, and on your exhaust manifold’s bolts—just for a few examples!
While you’re learning about the various tools and gadgets in your new kit, why not take the time to learn how to save hundreds of dollars on your
