What kind of tool is a torque wrench?

  1. Air pressure measuring device

  2. Fastener for concrete

  3. Tool for turning screws

  4. Tool to measure and apply a specific torque to a fastener

The correct answer is: Air pressure measuring device

A torque wrench is not an air pressure measuring device because it is not used to measure air pressure. It is also not a fastener for concrete as it is not used to secure or hold concrete pieces together. While it can be used to turn screws, that is not its primary purpose. A torque wrench is a tool specifically designed for measuring and applying a specific torque to a fastener to ensure that it is tightened to the correct level. This makes it a useful tool for mechanics and construction workers to ensure that screws, bolts, and other fasteners are not over or under-tightened.
