The present disclosure describes a device installation system. The system includes a device having a wireless communication tag that stores device identification information and torque information for installing the device via a threaded fastener. The system further includes a tool for applying torque to the threaded fastener to install the device. The tool includes a wireless communication tag reader, a temperature sensor, and at least one processor in communication with the wireless communication tag reader and the temperature sensor. The processor is configured to obtain the device identification information and the torque information from the tag via the tag reader; obtain ambient temperature information in a vicinity of the device via the temperature sensor; and determine an amount of torque required to apply to the threaded fastener to install the device using the obtained device identification information, torque information, and ambient temperature information. Related tools and methods are also described herein.
