Different sizes and strengths are used for different applications, from a small closure for a bag of bread to a large, heavy tie to hold unwieldy garden hoses in place.

Diagram showing the (theoretical) 3:1 mechanical advantage of the Trucker's Hitch.

The twist drill bit is the type produced in largest quantity today. It comprises a cutting point at the tip of a cylindrical shaft with helical flutes; the flutes act as an Archimedean screw and lift swarf out of the hole. The modern-style twist drill bit was invented by Sir Joseph Whitworth in 1860.
The actual working model, however, did not have the twist grip, belt drive, or brakes. [ 3 ] Glenn Curtiss , unlikely to have been aware of the prior uses of the twist grip, used it in his 1904 motorcycle land-speed record machine, and is sometimes credited as the inventor of the device.
A worker–machine activity chart is a chart used to describe or plan the interactions between workers and machines over time.
