[edit] Google Book links
I've never used google books to look up technical information. I list some links here to see if you can access them to determine if they are any good.

- I can't view them, but from the little text snippets it gave in the search, I'll count them as likely ok... Thanks! Bushytails 05:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
It is misstatement to say that an impact wrench "delivers" torque. Forces travel in straight lines. Torque is alway a resultant and never a force. Mik Hamilton
Mik this is an encyclopedia article about a power tool not physics. Take the jargon in context.71.112.30.41 03:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Funny, I only had 3 years of physics, but I seem to remember there not being any problem referring to torque as a force... and a quick check gives definitions like "torque 'rotating force,' 1884, from L. torquere 'to twist'" and "torque (tôrk) n. A turning or twisting force." I see no problem here. How would you rather word it? Bushytails 03:45, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
