Die
A Die is the tooling a fastener bench takes: a Nail Die belongs in the cut nail machine, a Rivet Die in the rivet heading machine, and each names its own machine, so seating the wrong die in a bench leaves it with no work and it says so. Both are forged from 2 iron plates and a hammer at the grid, and neither wears with use - the die stays fitted until the player swaps it out.
