French term
United States
torqueuse
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Aerospace / Aviation / Space
aerostructure
This is from a very brief excel file, so I don't have much context. It relates to airframe manufacture and is part of the "tools and equipment" column. Other equipment in the column includes boudineuse and perceuse, which I am calling extruder and drilling machine, although please correct me if there is a better term in the context.

torque driver
A "torque driver" may be used, with interchangeable bits, for small screws and nuts, but here there is no way of telling how big the tool is. For large bolts a "torque spanner" would be used this side of the Atlantic, though "wrench" is becoming more widespread.

Here are a few examples. As you can see, they are quite small, precision tools, and not the sort of thing you would use on a diesel cylinder head, say. I'm guessing that a "torqueuse" is smaller, rather than larger.

Hi Cynthia, et rebonjour! Strictly speaking "ex-engineer", but I think "torque driver" works on both sides of the pond.

torque wrench
This is probably what they mean

: "torqueux" as an adjective is used to denote that a motor has a high torque. As a noun, "torque wrench" seems highly likely.

maybe a common-or-garden torque wrench is too brutal?
