Generally there is provided a nutrunner appliance for automatically driving a nut having an electrical motor, gearing, and a strain gauge to monitor the applied torque. The control system employs analog comparator circuits acting on analog signals from the strain gauge to determine the torque being applied. During operation, the comparator detects a predetermined torque and shifts the motor to a lower velocity to lower the inertia of the system. When the strain gauge output corresponds to the desired final torque, a braking action is applied to the motor to quickly terminate the applied torque.
