ABSTRACT

An impact driver comprising a controller. The controller is configured to
receive a number of connectors and, for each connector of a plurality of
connectors equal to the number of connectors, determine, based on the number
of connectors, a torque for the connector, wherein, when the connector is a
connector other than a final connector tightened, the determined torque is
associated with a level of strain greater than a desired level of strain, and
tighten the connector using the torque determined for the connector.
