Metric Torque Wrenches

torque wrenches
(TORQUE WRENCH) A wrench containing an adjustable mechanism for measuring and controlling the amount of torque or turning force to be exerted – often used to tighten nuts on high strength bolts.
(torque wrench) a wrench that has a gauge that indicates the amount of torque being applied
A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely apply 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.
A tool for setting and adjusting the tightness of nuts and bolts to a desired value

metric
Metric units, or the metric system
metric function: a function of a topological space that gives, for any two points in the space, a value equal to the distance between them
A system or standard of measurement
A binary function of a topological space that gives, for any two points of the space, a value equal to the distance between them, or to a value treated as analogous to distance for the purpose of analysis
based on the meter as a standard of measurement; "the metric system"; "metrical equivalents"
