Too Afraid to Ask

Torque specs tell you how tight to make a bolt or nut when putting things together. If you make it too tight or too loose, it can cause problems.

Technical Definition

Torque specs refer to the specific amount of torque that should be applied to a fastener, such as a bolt or nut, during assembly. Proper torque ensures that components are securely fastened without being over-tightened, which can lead to damage.
