Screwdrivers are available, manual, electric, and pneumatic, which have a clutch which slips at a preset torque, allowing screws to be tightened to a specified torque without damaging overtightening. Cordless drills designed to be used as screwdrivers often have such a clutch.

Famous quotes containing the words torque and/or control:
“Poetry uses the hub of a torque converter for a jello mold.”
—Diane Glancy (b. 1941)
“When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.”
—Raymond Chandler (18881959)
