Since this is in history category I assume you are not referring to the screws which can be tightened by hand by this name. Therefore, you must be referring to the torture device that was used in medieval Europe. It basically is a small vice that a victim's thumbs were put in and the vice was tightened slowly crushing the thumb. other fingers and toes were also subject to this device .
