Fastening tools are the workhorses of any assembly operation. Consider a high-volume automotive plant. If a vehicle contains 1,000 threaded fasteners and an assembly line is turning out 250,000 vehicles annually, that’s more than 250 million run-downs each year.
A typical assembly plant will invest a good deal of money in electric and pneumatic tools to install fasteners. Given the sophistication of today's power tools, engineers might be tempted to discount the most critical component of the fastening process: the bits and sockets that drive the fastener.
If we are to build a better world, politicians tell us, power must be placed in the right hands. This statement will draw no protest from assemblers. After all, these skilled workers require state-of-the-art power tools to build long-lasting quality products on a daily basis.
