How to prevent quality problems caused by incorrect fasteners by choosing the right tool
A fastener is only as good as the way it is assembled. In industrial environments where precision and safety are paramount, the wrong combination of fastener and tool can lead to quality issues, wear, or even structural failure.

Choosing the right tool, from torque wrench to power socket, is therefore essential to ensure consistency, reliability, and quality in every project.
The link between tools and fastener quality
Using incorrect or worn tools can drastically affect the performance of fasteners. Consider:
- Excessive or insufficient tightening torques, resulting in connections being too loose or too tight.
- Damaged screw heads caused by incorrect bits or caps.
- Irregular tension, leading to uneven loading of the structure.
- Wear on threaded connections due to incorrect torque or impact settings.
The result: higher failure costs, rework, and risk of downtime.
Why choosing the right tool is so important
- Consistent quality in assembly
With a correctly calibrated torque wrench or electronic torque tool, the tightening torque is achieved exactly according to specification. This ensures that connections are consistent and reproducible—a requirement in sectors such as energy, offshore, and mechanical engineering.
- Protection of materials and components
The right tools prevent fasteners or surfaces from being damaged during assembly. This keeps the corrosion protection intact and extends the service life of the connection.
- Efficiency in the workshop
Well-coordinated tools reduce assembly time and minimize human error. This translates to less repair work and lower assembly costs.
- Safety and compliance
Many projects are subject to strict standards (e.g., ISO 6789 for torque wrenches). Tools that are correctly calibrated and certified ensure compliance with these safety and quality guidelines.
Practical examples
- In an offshore project, switching from standard impact wrenches to certified torque tools reduced the number of assembly errors by 35%.
- In mechanical engineering, the right combination of bit and fastener led to less wear on components, which extended maintenance intervals.
- In energy installations, a calibrated torque wrench prevented bolt overload, thereby preventing leaks and production downtime.
How Archey helps to guarantee quality
Archey not only offers a wide range of fasteners, but also the matching tools and accessories to guarantee installation quality.
Customers benefit from:
- Calibrated torque wrenches and torque tools with certification.
