Tooling systems and methods may be employed for installing a plurality of visually similar threaded fasteners to a plurality of assemblies. Each of the assemblies may have one or more threaded mating surfaces configured to receive different types of threaded fasteners, e.g., formed of different materials. The tooling system may include a tool(s) having a drive surface configured to install a threaded fastener by relative rotation of a gripping feature of the fastener with respect to a corresponding mating thread, each tool having a sensor disposed adjacent the drive surface and configured to detect a presence of the first material when a gripping feature of the one of the threaded fasteners of the first fastener type is positioned on the drive surface. The tooling system may also include a controller configured to determine the type of the selected threaded fastener based upon the sensor.
